PREFACE. 


Like  a  traveller  who  at  the  end  of  a  long  and 
difficult  voyage  has  safely  reached  the  haven  where 
he  would  be,  I  offer  to  Almighty  God  the  tribute 
of  praise  and  thanksgiving  for  the  blessings  of  un- 
broken health,  of  journeying  mercies  throughout  the 
progress  of  this  work,  and  of  much  kindness  from 
friends,  old  and  new,  on  both  sides  of  the  Atlantic, 
without  which  it  could  not  have  been  done  at  all. 

Having  stated  elsewhere  the  origin,  character 
and  aims  of  this  book,  it  is  my  pleasing  duty  to 
enumerate  here  the  sundries  of  a  heavy  debt  in- 
curred, in  payment  of  which  I  can  only  tender  this 
note  of  gratitude,  which  I  hope  will  be  strongly 
endorsed  by  the  public,  and  graciously  received  by 
the  good  friends  to  whom  it  is  offered. 

The  Trustees  of  the  Lenox  Library  will  please 
accept  my  thanks  for  the  hospitality  of  the  Insti- 
tution and  the  unrestricted  use  of  the  rich  Collection 
of  which  they  are  the  custodians.  To  one  of  their 
number,  George  H.  Moore,  Esq.,  LL.D.,  Superin- 
tendent of  the  Library,  I  am  under  special  obligation 


VI  PREFACE. 

for  the  courtesy  and  readiness  with  which  he  has 
met  my  wants  and  facihtated  my  work.  The  valua- 
ble help  afforded  me  by  S.  Austin  Allibone,  Esq., 
LL.D.,  the  Librarian,  is  duly  recorded  in  another 
place,  but  I  have  yet  to  add  that  he  has  enriched 
this  volume  by  an  Index  to  the  Prolegomena. 

The  contributions  enumerated  below  excepted, 
this  is  the  first  book  which  has  been  entirely  pre- 
pared in  the  Library  from  material  drawn  from  its 
shelves,  and  for  this  reason  is  inscribed  to  the  mem- 
ory of  the  good  man  who  founded  it. 

For  the  collation  of  Genesis  of  1630,  with  Genesis 
Newly  corredyd  and  amendyd  by  W.  T.  1534,  and 
of  several  of  the  Prologues  with  those  in  Daye's 
Folio  of  1673,  as  well  as  for  the  reading  of  the 
proof-sheets  of  the  entire  Pentateuch,  I  am  indebted 
to  the  kindness  of  The  Reverend  James  Culross, 
D.D.,  President  of  the  Baptist  College,  Bristol.  I 
have  also  to  thank  Edward  Augustus  Bond,  Esq., 
LL.D.,  Principal  Librarian  of  the  British  Muse- 
um, George  Bullen,  Esq.,  Keeper  of  the  Printed 
Books  of  the  British  Museum,  and  The  Reverend 
J.  E.  Sewell,  D.D.,  Warden  of  New  College,  Oxford, 
for  valuable  contributions  duly  acknowledged  in  the 
proper  places.  To  the  kindness  of  Francis  Fry, 
Esq.,  of  Bristol,  I  owe  the  photograph  of  Tyndale's 
Autograph  Letter,  which  faces  the  Title  Page,  and 
much  useful  information,  some  of  which  I  have  been 
able  to  print. 


PREFACE.  Vll 

The  technical  finish  of  this  Volume  is  due  to 
the  skill  and  interest  of  Mr.  John  F.  McCabe,  the 
Superintendent  of  the  Stereotype  Foundry  at  St. 
Johnland;  his  interest  has  been  shared  by  the  com- 
positors, whose  carefulness  has  not  a  little  lessened 
the  work  of  correcting  the  proof-sheets. 

Although  great  pains  have  been  taken  to  secure 
accuracy,  the  imperfection  which  marks  all  human 
effort,  especially  where  it  aims  to  avoid  it,  may  have 
caused  some  things  to  escape  the  observation  of 
my  kind  friends,  and  myself,  which  others  perhaps 
will  notice.  I  shall  feel  grateful  to  have  pointed  out 
to  me  any  real  blemishes,  that  they  may  be  removed 
from  the  plates. 

Several  months  ago  the  Earl  of  Shaftesbury  un- 
veiled the  monument  on  the  Thames  Embankment 
in  honor  of  the  Apostle  of  Liberty,  who,  at  the  cost 
of  his  life,  gave  to  the  people  of  English  tongue 
much  of  the  English  Bible,  and  it  is  now  my  privi- 
lege to  unveil  the  monument  which  William  Tyndale 
himself  erected  in  restoring  to  use  by  all  lovers  of 
the  English  Bible,  and  of  the  same  glorious  liberty, 
the  long  buried  volume  of  the  first  English  Version 
of  the  Pentateuch  made  from  the  Sacred  Original.

CHAPTER    I. 

BIOGRAPHICAL  NOTICE  OF  WILLIAM  TYNDALE. 

Obscurity  shrouds  the  first  forty  years  of  the  life  of 
William  Tyndale,  uncertainty  and  mystery  involve  the 
remainder.  We  may  trace  him  from  Gloucestershire  to 
Worms  to  lose  sight  of  him  during  eight  eventful  years 
and  to  find  him  permanently  settled  at  Antwerp.  The 
details  of  his  manner  of  life  there,  of  his  arrest,  imprison- 
ment, trial,  and  martyrdom,  which  have  come  down  to 
us  in  the  shape  of  history  and  tradition,  are  few  and  un- 
satisfactory, and  mainly  contained  in  the  sketch  of  John 
Foxe  described  as  The  hijlorie  and  difcourfe  of  the  lyfe 
of  William  Tyndall  out  of  the  Booke  of  Notes  and  Monu- 
mentes  Briefly  extracted  by  him  in  The  Whole  workes  of 
W.  Tyndall,  John  Frith,  and  Doct.  Barnes,  three  worthy 
Martyrs,  &c.,  London,  John  Daye,  An.  1573.  in-folio. 
The  most  important  of  these  are  the  following: 

A.iiij.  "  Firfl  touching  the  birth  and  parentage  of  this  bleffed 
Martyre  in  Chrift,  hee  was  borne  in  the  edge  of  Wales,  and  brought 
vp  from  a  childe  in  the  vniuerfitie  of  Oxforde,  where  hee  by  long  con- 
tinuance grew,  and  encreafed  afwell  in  the  knowlege  of  tongues, 
and  other  liberall  artes,  as  efpecially  in  the  knowlege  of  Scriptures, 
whereunto  his  mind  was  fingularly  addicted:  Infomuch  that  hee 
liyng  in  Magdalene  hall,  read  priuelye  to  certaine  fludentes,  and 
felowes  of  Magdalene  College,  fome  percell  of  Diuinitie,  inftructing 
them  in  the  knowlege,  and  trueth  of  the  Scriptures.  Whofe  maners 
alfo  and  conuerfation  being  correfpondent  to  the  fame,  were  fuch 
that  all  they  which  knewe  him,  reputed,  and  efleemed  him  to  bee  a 
man  of  mofl  verteous  difpofition,  and  of  a  life  vnfpotted.  Thus  hee 
in  the  vniuerfitie  of  Oxford  encreafyng  more  and  more  in  learning, 
and  proceeding  in  degrees  of  the  fchooles,  fpiyng  his  tyme,  remoued 
from  thence  to  the  Vniuerfitie  of  Cambridge,  where,  after  he  had 


xviil  PROLEGOMENA, 

likewyle  made  his  abode  a  certayne  fpace,  and  beeing  now  farther 
rypened  in  the  knowlege  of  Gods  worde,  leauing-  that  vniuerfitie 
alfo,  he  reforted  to  one  M.  Weljhe  a  knyght  of  Glocefler  fheare,  and 
was  there  fchoole  mafler  to  his  children,  and  in  very  good  fauour 
with  his  mafter.  This  gentleman,  as  hee  kept  a  very  good  ordinary 
commonly  at  his  table,  there  reforted  vnto  him  many  tymes  fondry 
Abbottes,  Deanes,  Archdeacons,  with  other  diuers  Doctours,  and 
great  beneficed  men:  Who  there  togither  with  M.  Tyndall  fittyng 
at  the  fame  table,  did  vfe  many  tymes  to  enter  communication  and 
talke  of  learned  men,  as  of  Luther  and  Erafmus,  and  of  diuerfe 
controuerfies,  and  queflions  vpon  the  fcripture.  At  which  time 
M.  Tyndall,  as  he  was  learned,  &  wel  practifed  in  Gods  matters, 
fo  he  fpared  not  to  fhew  to  them  fimply,  and  playnely  his  iudgement 
in  matters  as  he  thought.  And  when  as  they  at  that  tyme  did  varie 
from  Tyndall  in  opinions,  and  iudgment,  he  would  fhewe  them 
the  booke,  and  lay  playnely  before  them  the  open,  and  manifefl  places 
of  the  fcriptures  to  confute  their  errours,  and  to  confirme  his  fayinges. 
And  thus  continued  they  for  a  feafon,  reafoning,  and  contending 
togither  diuers  and  fondry  tymes,  till  at  the  length  they  waxed  wery 
of  him,  and  bare  a  fecret  grudge  in  their  hartes  againfl  hym. 

B.j.  sqq.  "To  bee  fhort  M.  Tyndall  beeing  fo  molefled  and  vexed 
in  the  countrey  by  y"  Priefts,  was  conflrayned  to  leaue  that  Countrye, 
and  to  feeke  another  place:  and  fo  comming  to  M.  Weljhe  hee  defired 
him  of  his  good  will,  that  hee  might  depart  from  hym,  faying  thus 
vnto  him:  Syr  I  perceaue  I  fhall  not  bee  fuffered  to  tarye  long  here 
in  this  countrie,  neither  fhall  you  bee  able  (though  you  woulde)  to 
keepe  mee  out  of  the  handes  of  the  fpiritualtie,  and  alfo  what  dif- 
pleafure  might  growe  to  you  by  keeping  mee  God  knoweth:  for  the 
which  I  fhulde  bee  right  fory.  So  that  in  fine  M.  Tyndall  with  y<> 
good  will  of  his  Mafler  departed,  and  eftfones  came  vp  to  London, 
and  there  preached  a  while  according  as  hee  had  done  in  the  coun- 
trye beefore.  At  length  hee  beethought  hym  felfe  of  Cuthbert  Tun- 
Jlall  then  Byfhop  of  London,  and  efpecially  for  the  great  commen- 
datio  oi  Erafmus"  etc.  (See  the  Prologue  "When  I  had  tranflated, 
&c.,"  from  which  this  part  of  Foxe's  account  is  taken.) 

"And  fo  he  remayned  in  London  the  fpace  almofl  of  a  yeare, 
beholding  and  marking  with  him  felfe  the  courfe  of  the  world  and 
efpecially  y''  Demeanour  of  the  preachers,  how  they  boafled  them 
felues,  &  fet  vp  their  auctoritie  &  kingdome;  Beholding  alfo  the 
pompe  of  the  Prelates,  with  other  thinges  that  greatly  mifliked  him. 
Infomuch,  as  he  vnderfloode  not  onely  to  be  no  roome  in  y°  Bifhops 
houfe  for  him  to  tranflate  the  new  Teftament:  but  alfo  that  there 
was  no  place  to  doe  it  in  all  England.  And  therefore  fynding  no 
place  for  his  purpofe  within  the  Realme,  and  hauing  fome  ayde  and 
prouifion,  by  Gods  prouidence  miniflred  vnto  him  by  Hufnfrey 
Mommouth  Merchaunt,  who  after  was  both  Shirife  and  Alderman 


BIOGRAPHICAL   NOTICE   OF   TYNDALE.  XIX 

of  London,  and  by  certaine  other  good  men,  he  tooke  his  leaue  of 
the  Realme,  and  departed  into  Germany.  Where  the  good  man 
being  inflamed  with  a  tender  care  and  zeale  of  his  countrey  refufed 
no  trauell,  or  diligence,  how  by  all  meanes  poffible  to  reduce  his 
bretheren  &  Countrymen  of  England  to  the  fame  tafl  and  vnder- 
ftanding  of  Gods  holy  worde,  and  veritie  which  the  Lorde  had  en- 
dued him  withall.         *        *        * 

"  For  thefe  and  fuch  other  confiderations,  this  good  man  was 
tnoued  (and  no  doubte  flyrred  vp  of  God)  to  tranflate  the  Scripture 
into  his  mother  tongue,  for  the  publique  vtilitie  and  profit  of  the 
fimple  vulgar  people  of  his  coutrey:  Firfl  fetting  in  hand  with  the 
new  teflament,  which  he  firfl  tranflated  about  the  yeare  of  our 
Lord  .1527.  After  y'  he  tooke  in  hande  to  tranflate  the  olde  tefl^a- 
ment,  finifliing  the  .V.  bookes  of  Mofes,  with  fondry  moft.  learned 
and  godly  prologues  prefixed  before  euery  one  of  them  mofl:  worthy 
to  be  read,  and  read  againe  of  all  Chrifl^ians,  as  the  like  alfo  he  did 
vpon  the  new  teflament. 

"  He  wrote  alfo  dyuerfe  other  woorkes  vnder  fondry  titles,  among 
the  which  is  that  mofl.  worthy  monument  of  his  intuled  the  obedy- 
ence  of  a  Chriftian  man,  wherein  with  Angular  dexteritie  he  inflruct- 
eth  all  men  in  the  office,  and  duetie  of  Chriftian  obediece,  with 
dyuerfe  other  treatifes  as  may  apere  in  the  contentes  of  this  booke. 

"So  foone  as  thefe  bookes  were  compiled,  and  made  by  William 
Tyndall,  and  the  fame  were  publiflied  and  fent  ouer  into  England, 
it  can  not  bee  fpoken  what  a  dore  of  light  they  opened  to  the  eyes  of 
the  whole  Engliflie  nation,  which  before  were  many  yeares  fliut  vp 
in  darknes.       *        *        * 

"After  that  William  Tyndall  hsid  tranflated  the  fyfth  booke  of 
Mofes  called  Deuterono7nium,  and  he  mynding  to  print  the  fame  at 
Hamborough,  fayled  thitherward:  and  by  the  way  vpon  the  coaft  of 
Holland,  he  fuffered  fliipwracke,  and  loft  all  his  bookes,  writinges, 
and  copyes:  and  fo  was  compelled  to  beginne  all  agayne  anewe,  to 
his  hyndcraunce  and  doiiblyng  of  his  labours.  Thus  hauyng  loft  by 
that  fhip  both  money,  his  copyes  and  tyme,  he  came  in  an  other 
ihippe  to  Hamborough,  where  at  his  appointment  M.  Couerdale 
taryed  for  hym,  and  helped  hym  in  the  tranflatyng  of  the  whole  fiue 
bookes  of  Mofes.  And  after  hee  returned  to  Andwarp,  and  was  there 
lodged  more  than  one  whole  yeare  in  the  houfe  of  Thomas  Pointz^ 
an  Englifh  man,  who  kept  a  table  for  Engliflie  marchauntes,  etc. 

"  About  which  tyme,  an  Engliflie  man  whofe  name  was  Henry 
Phillips,  whofe  father  was  cuftomer  of  Poole,  a  comely  man,  and 
feemed  to  be  a  gentleman.  This  man  fodainely  entred  into  the  great 
loue  and  fauour  of  Willam  Tyndall,  who  greatly  commended  his 
curtefie  and  learning,  and  in  the  ende  fell  into  famylier  loue  and 
acquaintance  with  him.  And  Thomas  Pointz  their  hoft  efpying  fuch 
great  loue  and  familiaritie  to  be  betweene  M.  Tyndall  and  this 


XX  PROLEGOMENA. 

Pkilippes,  which  vnto  hym  was  but  a  mere  flrainger,  did  much 
meruell  thereat,  and  fell  into  a  geloufy,  and  fufpition  ttiat  this  Phil- 
lipes  was  but  a  fpye,  and  came  but  to  betraye  M.  Tindall,  wherefore 
on  a  time,  the  a  fore  fayd  Thomas  Poyntz  afked  M.  Tyndall  how 
he  came  acquainted  with  this  Phillipes:  M.  Tyndall  aufwered  that 
he  was  an  honefl  man,  handfomely  learned,  and  very  conformable. 
Then  Poyntz  perceauing-  that  he  bare  fuch  fauour  vnto  him,  fayd  no 
more,  thinking  that  hee  had  beene  brought  acquainted  with  him  by 
feme  frende  of  his.  The  fayd  Phillipes  being  in  the  towne  .iij.  or 
iiij.  dayes  did  then  depart  to  the  Court  at  Bruxelles,  which  is  from 
Andwarp  .xxiiij.  myles  and  did  fo  much  there  that  he  procured  to 
bring  from  thence  with  him  to  Andwarp  the  procuror  generall, 
which  is  the  Emperours  attorney  with  certaine  other  officers.  And 
firfl.  the  fayd  Phillipes  feruaunt  came  vnto  Poytttz  and  demaunded 
of  him  whether  M.  Tyndall  were  there  or  not,  for  his  mafler  would 
come  and  dyne  with  him.  And  forthwith  came  Phillipes  and  afked 
Poyntz  wife  for  M.  Tyndall  and  fhe  fhewed  him  that  he  was  in  his 
chamber,  then  fayd  he,  what  good  meate  (hall  we  haue  to  dinner  for 
I  entend  to  dyne  with  you,  and  fhe  aunfwered  they  fhould  haue  fuch 
as  the  market  would  geue.  Then  went  phyllipes  flraight  vp  into  M. 
Tyndales  chamber,  and  tolde  him  that  by  the  way  as  he  came  he  had 
loft  his  purffe,  and  therefore  prayed  him  to  lend  him  .xl.  fhillings,  which 
he  forthwith  lent,  for  it  was  eafie  inough  to  be  had  of  him  if  he  had  it. 
For  in  the  wilie  fubtilnes  of  this  world,  he  was  fymple  and  vnexpert. 
"Then  fayd  Phillipes  you  fhall  be  my  gueft  here  this  day.  No, 
fayd,  Tyndall,  I  goe  forth  this  day  to  dynner,  and  you  fhall  goe  with 
me  and  be  my  geft  where  you  fhall  be  welcome.  And  when  dynner 
tyme  came  M.  Tyndall  and  Phillipes  went  both  forth  togither.  And 
at  the  going  forth  oi Poyntz\iO\x{&  was  a  long  narrow  entrey,  fo  that  .ii 
coulde  not  goe  on  a  front.  Tyndall  v^ovXA  haue  \>w\. phillipes  before 
him,  but  Phillipes  would  in  no  wife,  but  put  Tyndall  hetiort  him,  for 
that  hee  pretended  to  fhew  great  humanitie.  So  Tyndale  being  a  man 
of  no  great  ftature  went  before,  and  Phillipes  a  tall  perfon  folowed 
behinde  him,  who  had  fet  officers  on  either  fyde  of  the  dore  vpon  .ii 
feates,  which  beeing  there  might  fee  who  came  in  the  entrye.  And 
comming  through  y^  faid  entrye,  Phillipes  pointed  with  his  finger  ouer 
M.  Tyndales  head  downe  to  hym,  that  the  officers  which  fat  at  the 
dore,  might  fee  that  it  was  hee  whom  they  fhould  take,  as  the  officers 
that  tooke  Tyndall  afterward  tolde  to  the  a  fore  fayde  Poyntz,  and 
fayd  that  they  pitied  to  fee  his  fimplicitie  when  they  tooke  him. 
But  Tyndall  when  hee  came  nere  the  dore  efpied  the  officers  and 
woulde  haue  fhronke  backe:  nay  fayd  Phillipes  by  your  leaue  you 
fhall  goe  forth,  and  by  force  bare  hym  forward  vpon  the  officers. 
And  affone  as  the  officers  had  taken  him,  they  forthwith  brought  him 
vnto  the  Emperours  attorney,  or  procurour  generall,  where  hee 
dyned.     Then  came  the  procurour  generall  to  the  houfe  of  Poyntz, 


BIOGRAPHICAL   NOTICE   OF   TYNDALE.  xxi 

and  fent  awaye  all  that  was  of  Tytidales,  afwell  his  bookes  as  other 
thinges:  And  from  thence  Tyndall  was  had  to  the  Caftell  of  filforde, 
xviij.  Englifhe  myles  from  Andwarpe,  where  hee  remayned  prifoner 
more  than  a  yeare  and  a  halfe,  and  in  that  meane  tyme,  came  vnto 
him  diuerfe  lawyers,  and  Doctours  in  Diuinitie,  afwell  fryers  as  other 
with  whom  hee  had  many  conflyctes:  But  at  the  lafl  Tyndall  prayed 
that  hee  might  haue  fome  Englifhe  Deuines  come  vnto  him,  for  the 
maners  and  Ceremonies  in  Douch  land  (fayd  hee)  did  much  differ 
from  the  maners  and  Ceremonies  vfed  in  England.  And  then  was

him  by  vertue  of  the  Emperours  decree  made  in  the  affembly  at  Auf- 
brough,  and  (hortly  after  brought  him  forth  to  the  place  of  execution, 
and  there  tyed  him  to  a  flake,  where  with  a  feruent  zeale,  and  a  loud 
voyce  hee  cried,  Lord  open  the  eyes  of  the  King  of  Englande,  and 
then  firft,  he  was  with  a  halter  flrangled  by  the  hangman,  and  after- 
ward confumed  with  fier.     In  the  yeare  of  our  Lord  .1536. 

"Such  was  the  power  of  his  doctryne,  and  the  finceritie  of  his 
lyfe,  that  during  the  tyme  of  his  imprifonment,  which  (as  aforefayd)

Emperours  attorney  beeing  there,  left  this  teflemony  of  him,  that  he 
was  Homo  doctus  plus  et  bonus,  that  is,  a  learned,  a  good,  and  a 
godly  man.       *        *        * 

"  And  here  to  ende  and  conclude  this  hiftory  with  a  fewe  notes 
touching  his  priuate  behauiour  in  dyet,  fludy,  and  efpecially  his 
charitable  zeale,  and  tender  releuing  of  the  poore:  Fyrfl  be  was  a 
man  very  frugall,  and  fpare  of  body,  a  great  fludent  and  earnefl 
laborer,  namely  in  the  fetting  forth  of  y*  Scriptures  of  God.  He 
referued  or  halowed  to  hym  felfe  .ij.  dayes  in  the  weeke,  which  he 
named  his  dayes  of  paflime,  and  thofe  dayes  were  Monday  the  firfl 
day  in  the  weeke,  and  Satterday  the  lafl  daye  in  the  weeke.  On  the 
Monday  he  vifited  all  fuche  poore  men  and  women  as  were  fied  out 
of  England  by  reafon  of  perfecution  into  Antwarp,  and  thofe  well 
vnderflanding  their  good  exercifes  and  qualities  he  did  very  liberally 
comfort  and  relieue:  and  in  like  maner  prouided  for  the  ficke  and 
deceafed  perfons.  On  the  Satterday  he  walked  round  about  the 
towne  in  Antwarpe,  feeking  out  euery  Comer,  and  hole  where  he 
fufpected  any  poore  perfon  to  dwell  (as  God  knoweth  there  are  many) 
and  where  he  found  any  to  be  well  occupied  and  yet  ouerburdened 
with  children,  or  els  were  aged,  or  weake,  thofe  alfo  hee  plentefully 
releued.  And  thus  he  fpent  his  .ij.  dayes  of  paflime  as  he  cauled 
them.  And  truely  his  Almofe  was  very  large  and  great:  and  fo 
it  might  well  bee;   for  his  exhibition  that  he  had   yearely  of  the 


xxii  PROLEGOMENA. 

Englifhe  merchauntes  was  very  much,  and  that  for  the  moft  parte 
he  beflowed  vpon  the  poore  as  afore  fayd.  The  reft  of  the  dayes  in 
the  weke  he  gaue  hym  wholy  to  his  booke  where  in  moft  diUgently 
he  traueled.  When  the  Sonday  came,  then  went  he  to  fome  one 
merchaunts  chamber,  or  other,  whether  came  many  other  mer- 
chauntes: and  vnto  them  would  he  reade  fome  one  percell  of 
Scripture,  eyther  out  of  the  olde  teftament,  or  out  of  the  new,  the 
which  proceded  fo  frutefully,  fweetely  and  gentely  from  him  (much 
like  to  the  writing  of  S.  John  the  Euangeleft)  that  it  was  a  heauenly 
comfort  and  ioy  to  the  audiece  to  heare  him  reade  the  fcriptures:  and 
in  likewife  after  dinner,  he  fpent  an  houre  in  the  aforefayd  maner. 
He  was  a  man  without  any  fpot,  or  blemiftie  of  rancor,  or  malice, 
full  of  mercy  and  compaffion,  fo  that  no  man  liuing  was  able  to 
reproue  him  of  any  kinde  of  fmne  or  cryme,  albeit  his  righteoufnes 
and  iuftification  depended  not  there  vpon  before  God,  but  onely 
vpon  the  bloud  of  Chrift,  and  his  fayth  vpon  the  fame:  in  the  which 
fayth  conftantly  he  dyed,  as  is  fayd  at  Filforde,  and  now  refteth  with 
the  glorious  campany  of  Chriftes  Martyrs  bleffedly  in  the  Lord,  who 
be  bleffed  in  all  his  faintes  Amen.  And  thus  much  of  W.  Tyndall, 
Chriftes  bleffed  feruaunt,  and  Martyr." 

Within  this  framework  lie  the  earliest  indicia  of  the 
history  of  Tyndale,  confirmed,  disproved,  or  augmented 
by  contemporary  evidence,  and  collected  by  the  unre- 
mitting zeal  and  patient  research  of  earnest  students. 
The  results  of  their  labors  will  now  be  considered. 

In  the  latest,  exhaustive,  and  best,  biography  of  Tyn- 
dale extant,^  Mr.  Demaus  demonstrates  that  the  Martyr 
was  neither  born  at  Hunt's  Court  in  Gloucestershire,  nor 
a  member  of  the  Tyndales  who  obtained  possession  of  it 
not  till  long  after  his  birth.  Their  son  William  was  alive 
six  years  after  the  Martyr's  death,  and  could  not,  of 
course,  have  been  identical  with  him.  The  same  writer 
has  shown  that  Tyndales  were  settled  as  farmers  at 
Melksham  Court  in  the  parish  of  Stinchcombe,  and  oth- 
ers at  Slymbridge;  also,  that  Edward,  a  brother  of  the 
subject  of  this  notice,  was  under-receiver  of  the  lord- 
ship of  Berkeley,^  and  rendered  it  not  improbable  that

Slymbridge  was  th^  birthplace  of  the  Reformer,  This 
inference  conflicts,  however,  with  the  genealogy  com- 
piled by  the  heraldic  historians,  according  to  which 
Edward  Tyndale  was  the  fourth  son  of  Sir  William 
Tyndale,  of  Hockwold,  Norfolk,  whose  elder  brother 
William  lived  till  1558.  In  the  pedigree  printed  by 
Mr.  Offor,'  Edward  is  not  mentioned  at  all;  it  deserves 
to  be  preserved,  however,  on  account  of  the  refer- 
ence to  the  name  of  Hutchins   (spelled  also   Huchyns,

Mr.  James  Herbert  Cooke,  F.  S.  A.,  in  a  paper  The  Tyndalesin  Gloucester- 
shire, states: 

"  '  In  a  deed  of  entail  executed  by  Alice  Tyndale  in  her  widowhood,  date  20th  January, 
1541-2,  by  which  she  entails  the  Hunt's  Court  Estate  on  her  five  sons';  'she  had  five  sons, 
Richard,  Henry,  William,  Thomas,  and  John,  and  two  daughters,  Joan  and  Agnes.'  William 
is  named  one  of  the  valuers  of  his  mother's  household  effects  in  her  will  dated  3rd  Feb.  1542-3, 
he  resided  at  Nibley,  probably  at  Hunt's  Court,  as  he  is  assessed  to  the  subsidy  of  1543  of  goods 
in  that  parish  of  the  value  of  {,i,.' 

"  '  It  seems  therefore  fair  to  conclude  with  Mr.  Greenfield  that  Edward  Tyndale,  and 
William  the  Martyr,  were  in  all  probability  brothers  of  the  first  Richard  Tyndale,  of  Melks- 
ham  Court,  to  whom  we  may  add  a  fourth  brother,  viz.  John  Tyndale,  a  Merchant,  of  Lon- 
don, who  was  punished  by  the  Star  Chamber  in  1530  for  assisting  William  in  the  circulation 
of  his  New  Testament.'  " 

For  these  extracts  I  am  indebted  to  the  Note  on  the  Pedigree  of  W.  Tyndale, 
drawn  up  for  insertion  before  the  Introduction  to  the  New  Testament,  Trans- 
lated by  W.  Tyndale,  Reproduced  in  Facsimile,  by  Francis  Fry,  F.  S.  A.,  1862. 

Atkyns,  /.  c,  p.  303,  says  that  William  Tyndale  was  born  at  Nibley,  ap- 
parently on  the  authority  of  the  History  of  the  Hundred  of  Berkeley,  written 
by  John  Smith  of  Nibley;  it  is  in  MS.  and  at  present,  the  property  of  Mr.  Cook 
of  Berkeley  Castle. 


XXIV  PROLEGOMENA. 

Kitchens,  Hychins,  &c.)  assumed  by  the  Martyr  on  the 
Continent,  to  which,  according  to  the  pedigree,  he  ap- 
pears to  have  had  a  right. 

The  origin  of  Tyndale  is  still  uncertain.  William 
was  a  favorite  name  among  the  Tyndales;  it  was  borne 
by  one  to  whom  thus  far  I  have  seen  no  reference  ex- 
cept in  Wood's  AtJience  Oxon.,^  by  another  ordained  by 
the  bishop  of  Pavada  in  1503;  and  by  a  third,  who 
took  monastic  vows  at  Greenwich  in  1509;  the  iden- 
tity of  either  and  both  with  the  Reformer  has  been 
challenged. 

Equal  uncertainty  attaches  to  the  date  of  his  birth. 
The  incidental  statement  in  Tyndale's  Anfwer  to  Sir 
Thomas  More,^  that  "  thefe  things  to  be  even  fo,  M.  More 
knoweth  well  enough,  for  he  underftandeth  the  Greek, 
and  he  knew  them  long  ere  I ",  has  been  adduced  as 
proof  that  Tyndale  was  younger  than  More  and  that 
he  was  born  after  1480. 

The  want  of  documentary  evidence  that  More  was 
born  in  1480,  precludes  all  inference  as  to  the  date  of 
Tyndale's  birth,  nor  does  it  follow  from  Tyndale's  words 
that  More  was  his  senior,  for  the  latter  may  have  known 
the  things  referred  to  much  longer  than  Tyndale  and 
yet  have  been  his  junior.  A  young  person  may  have 
been  possessed  of  information  for  many  years  which  has 
not  come  to  the  knowledge  of  a  much  older  person. 
If  Tyndale  at  the  time  of  his  martyrdom  in  1536  was  a 
middle  aged  man,  the  earliest  date  of  his  birth  would  be 
1476  and  the  latest  i486.     This  is  as  near  as  we  can  get. 

The  statement  of  Foxe  (see  p.  xvii.)  that  Tyndale  was 
"brought  vp  from  a  child  in  the  vniuerfitie  of  Oxford, 
where  hee  by  long  continuance  grew,  and  encreafed 
afwell  in  the  knowlege  of  tongues,  and  other  liberall 
artes,  as  efpecially  in  the  knowlege  of  Scriptures  "  war-

who  after  1491  "  taught  and  read  the  Greek  tongue 
to  the  Oxonians  after  that  way,  which  had  not  before, 
I  suppose,  been  taught  in  their  University,  became  a 
famihar  friend  of,  or  rather  tutor  to,  Erasmus,  and  a 
person  in  eminent  renown  for  his  learning."'  While 
Grocyn  may  have  taught  him  Greek,  there  is  but  little 
doubt  that  John  Colet,  who  continued  to  lecture  at 
Oxford  until  1505,  influenced  and  shaped  the  theolog- 
ical education  of  Tyndale. 

Wood^  confirms  the  statements  of  Foxe,  and  a  por- 
trait of  Tyndale  formerly  in  the  library,  now  in  the 
refectory  of  Magdalen  Hall,  bears  the  inscription:

Lewis  ^  says,  "  Of  this  picture  I  would  have  here  given 
the  Reader  a  copy,  but  on  view  of  it  by  an  engraver 
for  that  purpose,  it  was  judged  to  be  so  ill  done,  as  that 
it  was  not  worth  while  to  copy  it."  An  engraving  of 
it  is  found  in  Offor's  reprint  of  Tyndale's  New  Testa- 
ment* and  one  made  from  another  picture  in  the  Man- 
uscript of  Tyndale  described  on  a  subsequent  page. 

The  meagre  and  vague  account  of  Foxe  embraces 
all  that  is  known  of  Tyndale  from  the  undefined  time 
of  his  removal  to  Cambridge,  and  his  continuance  there, 
to  his  appearance  about  1521  as  tutor  in  the  family  of 
Sir  John   Walsh  at  Little  Sodbury  in   Gloucestershire.

now  be  considered.  The  first  is  a  Manuscript  contain- 
ing translations  from  the  Gospels  marked  W.  T.  and 
bearing  the  dates  1500  and  1502,  described  at  length 
p.  Ivi.  sqq.  The  second  is  the  following  entry  in  the 
Register  of  Warham,  then  bishop  of  London,  communi- 
cated by  G.  Offor,  Esq.,  to  Professor  Walter  and  trans- 
cribed from  his  Biographical  Notice  of  William  Tyndale, 
p.  XV.,  prefixed  to  Doctrinal  Treatises,  &c.,  Cambridge, 
1848.  in-8.: 

"Ordines  generaliter  celebrat.  in  ecclesia  conventuali  domi.  sive  prioratus

Quingentesimo  secundo.  Presbn.  Willnxs  Tindale  Carlii  Dioc.  p.  li.  di.  ad  ti™ 
domus  monialium  de  Lambley." 

Concerning  this  record  of  a  general  ordination  it  is 
claimed  that  the  William  Tyndale,  ordained  priest,  could 
not  have  been  the  Reformer,  because  he  was  neither  a 
native  of  the  diocese  Carlisle  nor  connected  with  its 
jurisdiction.  This  is  the  statement  of  Professor  Wal- 
ter (/.  c.),  to  which  Mr.  Demaus  adds,  that,  "  accord- 
ing to  ecclesiastical  precedent,  the  person  who  was 
ordained  priest  in  March,  1503,  could  not  have  been 
born  later  than  1478;  but  this  was  two  years  before 
the  birth  of  Sir  Thomas  More,  and  is,  therefore,  in- 
compatible with  what  we  know  of  Tyndale's  age."^ 
These  inferences  appear  to  me  to  be  untenable  for  the 
reasons  stated  p.  xxiv.,  and  without  pretending  to  affirm 
that  the  William  Tyndale  named  in  the  Register  is  the 
subject  of  this  notice,  I  feel  bound  to  insert  the  entry. 

The  third  document  is  an  inscription  on  the  title- 
page  of  Sermons  de  Herolt,  a  small  folio,  printed  in  1495, 
in  the  Cathedral  Library  of  St.  Paul's,  worded  as  follows: 

"  Charitably  pray  for  the  soul  of  John  Tyndale,  who  gave  this  book  to  the 
monastery  at  Greenwich  of  the  obseruance  of  the  minor  brothers,  on  the  day 
that  brother  William,  his  son,  made  his  profession,  in  the  year  1508."  2

More  flung  the  epithets  friar  and  apostate  at  Luther, 
CEcolampadius,  Jerome,  and  Roye,  render  it  highly 
probable  that  Tyndale  would  have  been  regaled  with 
them  had  he  deserted  the  said  monastery  close  to  a 
favorite  residence  of  Henry  VIII.  The  circumstance 
must  have  been  known  to  Sir  Thomas,  and  his  silence 
on  the  subject  may  be  regarded  as  strong  proof  that 
the  inscription  relates  to  another  person  who  bore  the 
name  of  William  Tyndale.^ 

The  account  of  Foxe,  given  above,  with  which  should 
be  compared  the  much  fuller  narrative  in  the  first  edi- 
tion of  his  Actes  and  Monumentes  of  1563,  appears  to 
have  been  derived  from  contemporary  and  authentic 
sources;  it  covers  the  period  of  Tyndale's  life  at  Lit- 
tle Sodbury  and  in  London;  viz.,  from  A.  D.  1521  to 
May,  1524.  Mr.  Demaus  has  collected  every  available 
authority  and  produced  two  exceedingly  interesting 
chapters.^ 

For  Tyndale's  movements  on  the  Continent  the  ac- 
count of  Foxe  is  singularly  unsatisfactory.  The  points 
established  by  documentary  evidence  are  the  following: 
Tyndale  arrived  in  Hamburg  sometime  about  May, 
1524,  and  revisited  that  city  in  April,  1525.'  The  in- 
terval he  spent,  according  to  contemporary  authority, 
with  Luther  at  Wittenberg.*  In  September  of  that 
year  he  was  at  Cologne  with  Roye  and  superintended 
the  printing  of  his  English  version  of  the  New  Tes- 
tament which  had  advanced  as  far  as  the  letter  "K" 
in  the  signature  of  the  sheets,  when,  chiefly  through 
the  instrumentality  of  Cochlaeus,  further  progress  was 
arrested.  Most  probably  in  October  of  the  same  year, 
Tyndale  and  Roye  fled  to  Worms  where  six  thousand 
copies  of  the  first  complete  New  Testament  in  En- 
glish were  printed  during  the  ensuing  winter.^  For 
some   time,    perhaps   a   year,    he   remained    unmolested

The  publication  by  Tyndale  of  the  Prologe  vpon  the 
Epijile  to  the  Romans  (1526)  and  of  The  Parable  of  the 
Wicked  Mammon,  8th  of  May,  1527,  as  well  as  the  con- 
tinuous influx  of  his  Translation  into  England,  rendered 
it  unsafe  for  him  to  continue  at  Worms,  where  the 
said  works  had  been  printed,  ^nd  led  him  to  seek  and 
find  a  hiding  place  so  secure  and  well  chosen  that  the 
most  diligent  search  of  the  emissaries  of  Henry  VHI. 
and  Wolsey,  set  to  possess  themselves  of  his  person, 
proved  wholly  unavailing,  and  that  to  this  hour  no  au- 
thentic intelligence  of  its  mysterious  location  has  come 
to  light. 

The  meeting  of  Tyndale  with  Busche  has  given  rise 
to  the  wide  spread  story  that  the  town  of  Marburg  in 
Hesse  was  his  home  in  Germany.  The  account  is  pure- 
ly inferential,  and  rests  on  two  circumstances  utterly 
disconnected.  The  first  is  the  undoubted  fact  that 
Hermann  von  dem  Busche  was  appointed  professor  of 


BIOGRAPHICAL   NOTICE   OF   TYNDALE.        XXlX 

Hebrew  in  the  University  of  Marburg;  the  second  is  the  • 
publication  of  a  number  of  Tyndale's  works  containing, 
some  on  the  title-page,  others  in  the  colophon,  the  no- 
tice that  they  had  been  printed  by  Hans  Luft  at  Mal- 
borow  in  the  land  of  Hesse.  Connecting  these  data 
with  the  entry  in  Spalatin's  Diary  it  has  been  rashly 
inferred  that  Tyndale  followed  Busche  to  Marburg, 
translated  the  Pentateuch  there,  wrote  and  printed  a 
number  of  pamphlets,  held  delightful  and  sympathetic 
intercourse  with  leading  personages  connected  with  the 
Reformation,  and  much  more  to  the  same  effect.  These 
€tatements  were  current  and  accepted  as  history  until  the 
following  facts,  developed  by  inquiries  addressed  to  the  au- 
thorities of  the  University  of  Marburg,  were  prihted  in  the 
Hand  Book  of  the  English  Versions,  p.  no  sqq.,  London 
and  New  York,  1883,  and  are  here  reproduced:     > 

It  occurred  to  me  that  the  best  and  surest  way  might  be  to  open 
direct  communication  on  the  subject  with  the  authorities  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Marburg,  and  for  that  purpose  I  took  occasion  on  Novem- 
ber 7th,  1 88 1,  to  address  a  letter  to  the  Rector  Magnificus  of  that 
university,  inquiring  among  other  matters: 

1.  If  Hans  Luft  had  a  printing-press  at  Marburg  ?  and 

2.  If  William  Tyndale,  as  well  as  John  Frith  and  Patrick  Hamil- 
ton, ever  studied  there  ? 

Professor  Enhetterus  very  courteously  handed  my  letter  to  Pro- 
fessor Dr.  Julius  Caesar,  the  librarian  of  the  University,  and  author 
of  Catalogus  studiorum  scholce  Marpurgensis,  Marburg,  1875,  who 
having  thoroughly  explored  the  archives  of  the  University,  and  the 
documents  in  the  library  of  the  same,  is  unquestionably  the  most 
competent  scholar  to  testify  on  the  subject  under  consideration. 
This  scholar,  in  a  letter  to  me,  bearing  date  November  26th,  1881, 
after  briefly  traversing  the  field  of  inquiry,  informs  me: 

1 .  That  Hans  Luft  nevef-  lived,  and  never  had  a  printing-press, 
at  Marburg. 

2.  That  while  the  Album  of  the  University  enumerates  among 
the  matriculates  for  the  year  1527  the  following  persons — thus: 
Patritius  Hamilton,  a  Litgau,  Scotus,  mgr.  Parisiensis, 
lOANNES  Hamilton,  a  Litgau,  Scotus, 

GiLBERTUS  WiNRAM,  EDINBURGENSIS, 

there  is  no  entry  in  the  Album,  or  a  trace  in  any  document  what- 
ever in  the  archives  of  the  University,  that  Tyndale  atid  Frith  ever 
were  at  Marburg.

PROLEGOMENA. 


Professor  Caesar,  moreover,  agrees  with  me  in  the  opinion  that 
the  name  of  the  printer,  Hans  Luft,  and  of  the  place  of  printing, 
Marburg,  i.  e.,  Marlborow,  in  the  land  of  Hesse,  are  fictitious,  and 
were  probably  selected  to  conceal  the  real  place  of  printing  from 
Tyndale's  enemies  in  England.  He  further  coincides  with  me  in 
the  belief  that  the  statement  of  Tyndale  having  followed  Hermann 
von  dem  Busche  to  Marburg  is  simply  an  inferential  conjecture  .  .  . 

The  importance  of  the  subject  appears  to  me  to  render  it  desir- 
able that  the  correspondence  on  it  should  be  preserved;  it  is  there- 
fore produced  here  in  the  original,  and  the  translation  accompanying 
it  may  prove  useful  to  persons  not  familiar  with  German.

Dem  Rector  Magnificus  der  Uni- 

versitjET  Marburg. 
Hochgeehrter  Herr: — Im  Verfolg  einer 
geschichtlichen  Untersuchung  wage  ich 
es  mich  an  Sie  um  Aufschluss  Uber  eine 
Sache  zu  wenden,  die  auch  fUr  Sie  nicht 
ohne  Interesse  sein  dtirfte. 

Bei  Gelegenheit  der  Bearbeitung  citi- 
es Aufsatzes  tlber  den  englischen  Bibel- 
libersetzer  William  Tyndale  fand  ich, 
dass  eine  Notiz  folgenden  Inhalts  in  ver- 
schiedenen  alteren  Werken  vorkOmmt, 
die  von  den  Neueren  immer  wiederholt 
wird,  und  die,  wie  es  mir  scheint,  bis 
jetzt  noch  nicht  durch  historische  Be- 
lege  ervviesen  ist. 

Die  betreffende  Notiz  behauptet  dass 
William  Tyndale  einer  der  ersten  Stu- 
direnden  in  Marburg  gewesen,  und  dass 
verschiedene  seiner  Werke  von  Hans 
Luft  in  Marburg  gedruckt  seien. 

John  Frith  und  Patrick  Hamilton 
soUen  auch  in  Marburg  studirt  haben, 
und  der  Name  des  Letzteren  auf  der 
ersten  Seite  des  Universitats-Registers 
eingetragen  sein. 

Da  es  Ihnen  vermOge  Ihrer  amtlichen 
Stellung  wohl  nicht  schwer  sein  dtlrfte, 
diese  Uberlieferungen  zu  verificiren,  er- 
laube  ich  mir  bei  Ihnen  anzufragen, 

1 .  Ob  Hans  Luft  eine  Buchdruckerei 
in  Marburg  gehabt  hat,  und 

2.  Ob  das  Universitats- Register  ir- 
gend  welche  authentische  Nachrichten 
tiber  die  in  Frage  stehenden  PersOn- 
lichkeiten  enthitlt  ? 


Novr.  7,  188 1. 
To  THE  Rector  Magnificus  of  the 

University  of  Marburg. 
Very  honored  Sir: — In  the  prosecu- 
tion of  an  historical  inquiry,  I  venture 
to  address  you  for  information  in  a 
matter  which  may  not  be  void  of  in- 
terest to  you. 

Engaged  on  the  preparation  of  an 
essay  on  the  English  Bible  translator, 
William  Tyndale,  I  find  the  following 
notice  in  older  writers,  which,  though 
persistently  repeated  by  modem  au- 
thors, does  not  appear  to  me  proven 
by  historical  evidence. 


The  notice  in  question  asserts  that 
William  Tyndale  was  one  of  the  first 
students  at  Marburg  and  that  several 
of  his  works  have  been  printed  by  Hans 
Luft  at  Marburg. 

John  Frith  and  Patrick  Hamilton  are 
also  said  to  have  studied  at  Marburg, 
and  that  the  name  of  the  latter  is  re- 
corded on  the  first  page  of  the  Uni- 
versity Register. 

As  you,  in  virtue  of  your  official 
position,  may  not  find  it  difficult  to 
verify  these  traditions,  I  beg  leave  to 
inquire 

1 .  If  Hans  Luft  ever  had  a  printing- 
press  at  Marburg  ?  and 

2.  If  the  University  Register  contains 
authentic  notices  of  the  persons  in 
question  ?

Marburg,  26  Nov.,  188 1. 
Dem  Ehrw.  Herrn,  Dr.  Mombert. 

Hochgeehrter  Herr:  —  Der  zeitige 
Rector  unserer  Universitat,  Herr  Pro- 
fessor Ennetterus,  hat  mir  Ihren  an  ihn 
under  dem  7.  d.  M.  gerichteten  Brief 
zur  Beantwortung  Uberlassen,  da  ich 
mich  schon  friiher  mit  der  von  Ihnen 
gestellten  Frage  genauer  beschaftigt 
habe.  Obgleich  mir  augenblicklich 
nicht  Alles  gegenwJlrtig  ist,  was  ich 
einmal  dartiber  gewusst  habe,  vnd  auch 
die  Zeit  fehlt,  die  Nachforschung  von 
Neuem  zu  beginnen,  so  glaube  ich  Ihn- 
en doch  Uber  einen  Hauptpunkt  eine 
bestimmte  Antwort  geben  zu  kCnnen. 

Es  hat  nie  einen  Buchdrucker  Hans 
Luft  in  Marburg  gegeben  AUerdings 
existiren  verschiedene  Drucke  mit  sei- 
nem  Namen  und  dem  Druckort  Mar- 
burg (Ma[r]lborough,  Malborow,  u. 
a.)  in  the  land  of  Hessia,  die  Sie  unter 
den  Werken  von  Tyndale  und  von 
Fryth  bei  Lowndes,  in  dem  Oxforder 
Katalog  u.  sonst  angefUhrt  finden,  aber 
es  ist  nicht  zu  bezweifeln,  dass  so  wohl 
der  Druckort  als  der  Name  des  Druck- 
ers  fingirt  ist,  vielleicht  um  den  wahren 
Druckort  in  England  zu  verbergen. 
Man  hat  sich  dabei  der  in  der  Ge- 
schichte  der  Reformation  berUhmten 
Namen  der  Universitat  Marburg  und 
des  Wittenberger  Druckers  bedient, 
und  diese  in  eine  durch  Nichts  gerecht- 
fertigte  Verbindung  gebracht. 

Es  ist  richtig  dass  Patrick  Hamilton 
in  Marburg  immatriculirt  war;  und  sein 
Name  unter  dem  J.  1527  sich  fol.  5  b. 


Hoping  that  in  the  interest  of  histor- 
ical truth  you  may  be  obliging  enough 
to  communicate  to  me  what  you  may 
be  able  to  learn  on  this  subject,  and 
that  you  will  kindly  pardon  the  trouble 
to  which  I  put  you,  I  beg  you  to  be- 
lieve me,  with  high  regards. 

Yours  very  truly, 

J.  I.  Mombert. 

Marburg,  2b  Nov.,  188 r. 
To  THE  Rev.  Dr.  Mombert. 

Very  honored  Sir: — The  temporary 
Rector  of  our  University,  Professor  Mr. 
Ennetterus,  has  requested  me  to  answer 
the  letter  you  addressed  to  him  on  the 
7th  inst,  as  I  have  already  more  fully 
considered  the  question  you  have  sub- 
mitted to  him.  Although  I  do  not  at 
this  moment  recollect  all  that  at  one 
time  I  knew  on  the  subject,  and  lack 
the  necessary  leisure  to  begin  the  re- 
search anew,  I  nevertheless  believe  to 
be  able  to  give  you  a  definite  reply  con- 
cerning a  principal  point. 

There  has  never  existed  at  Marburg 
a  printer  of  the  name  of  Hans  Luft. 
There  exist,  to  be  sure,  sundry  printed 
works  with  his  name  and  Marburg 
(Ma[r]lborough,  Malborow,  etc.)  in 
the  land  of  Hesse,  as  the  place  of 
printing,  which  you  will  find  under 
the  works  of  Tyndale  and  Fryth  in 
Lowndes,  in  the  Oxford  Catalogue,  and 
elsewhere,  but  it  cannot  be  doubted 
that  both  the  place  of  printing  and  the 
name  of  the  printer  are  fictitious,  prob- 
ably for  the  purpose  of  concealing  the 
true  place  of  printing  (from  the  au- 
thorities) in  England.  For  that  pur- 
pose the  names  of  Marburg  and  of  the 
Wittenberg  printer,  celebrated  in  the 
history  of  the  Reformation,  have  been 
employed  and  connected  together  with- 
out anything  to  justify  it. 

It  is  correct  that  Patrick  Hamilton 
matriculated  at  Marburg,  and  that  his 
name  is  entered  under  the  year  1527

Aber  dass  Tyndale  und  Fryth  wirk-

davon  habe  ich  nirgends  eine  urkund-

indem  er  sich  auf  Anderson's  Annals

habe  ich  leider  bis  jetzt  nicht  controli-

nicht  wo  der  von  ihm  erwahnte  Brief 
von  Hermann  von  dam  Busche  an 
Spalatin  gedruckt  ist.  Geht  daraus 
hervor,  dass  Tyndale  bei  diesem  im  J. 
1526  in  Worms  war,  so  scheint  das 
Weitere,  dass  er  dem  im  J.  1527  nach 
Marburg  tibergesiedelten  B.  dahin  ge- 
folgt  sei,  nur  eine  auf  jenen  fingirten 
Druckort  gestutzte  Vermuthung  zusein. 
Es  wUrde  mir  sehr  interessant  sein,

on  folio  5  b.  of  our  Album,  and  that 
in  connection  with  two  of  his  comrades 
as  follows:

But  that  Tyndale  and  Fryth  were 
really  here  at  Marburg,  I  have  not 
been  able  to  find  a  documentary  trace 
thereof  anywhere ;  their  name  does  not 
occur  in  our  Album.  What  Lorimer 
in  his  book  on  Hamilton  (Edinb., 
1857),  p.  93,  sq.  narrates  with  refer- 
ence to  Anderson's  ^w«<2:/j  of  the  Bible, 
I.,  p.  139,  167,  I  regret  to  have  been 
thus  far  unable  to  verify,  as  we  have 
only  the  second  abridged  edition  of 
Anderson  (nor  is  there  a  copy  of  it  at 
Gottingen).  I  do  not  know  where  the 
letter  of  Hermann  von  dem  Busche  to 
Spalatin,  to  which  he  refers,  is  printed. 
If  it  states  that  Tyndale  was  with  him 
at  Worms  in  1526,  the  rest,  that  he 
followed  B.  on  his  removal  to  Mar- 
burg in  1527,  appears  to  be  a  conjec- 
ture based  on  the  fictitious  place  of 
printing. 


It  would  be  interesting  to  me  if  your 
researches  respecting  Tyndale  should 
lead  to  more  certain  and  positive  re- 
sults. 

I  myself  did  not  possess  the  means 
to  accomplish  it,  nor  the  time  to  prose, 
cute  the  matter  by  inquiries  directed  to 
larger  libraries,  or  in  England,  but  I 
have  not  lost  it  out  of  sight.

BIOGRAPHICAL   NOTICE   OF   TYNDALE.       xxxill 

In  the  absence  of  all  authentic  data  as  to  the  place 
covered  by  the  pseudonyme  Malborow  in  the  lande  of 
Hesse,  we  only  know  from  the  foregoing  correspondence 
that  it  does  not  designate  Marburg  on  the  Lahn,  and 
in  the  endeavor  to  identify  that  mysterious  abode  it  is 
proper  to  remember  that  it  must  have  been  a  place  of 
safety  and  ready  access,  affording  to  Tyndale  facilities 
in  the  pursuit  of  his  literary  labors  and  conveniences 
for  the  printing  of  his  works. 

As  the  emissaries  of  Henry  VIII.  and  Wolsey  had 
scoured  the  valley  of  the  Rhine  in  pursuit  of  the  exile, 
Cologne,  Mayence,  Worms,  Speyer,  and  Strassburg  must 
be  ruled  out,  and  as  inquiries  for  him  had  been  made 
at  Niirnberg  and  Frankfurt,  those  cities  also  must  be 
excluded.  This  narrows  the  inquiry  and,  if  his  place  of 
concealment  was  in  Germany,  limits  it  to  two  places, 
Hamburg  and  Wittenberg. 

Foxe,  after  his  account  of  the  shipwreck  and  visit  to 
Hamburg,  given  p.  xix.,  adds  in  Actes  and  Monumentes 
after  "  the  whole  fiue  books  of  Mofes  "  the  words,  "from 
Easter  till  December,  in  the  houfe  of  a  worfhipful  wid- 
ow, Mrs.  Margaret  Van  Emmerson,  anno  1529,  a  great 
sweating  ficknesse  being  at  the  time  in  the  town.  So 
having  dispatched  his  bufmess  at  Hamborough,  he  re- 
turned afterward  to  Antwerp  again." 

The  circumstantial  character  of  the  narrative  invests 
it  with  a  certain  degree  of  authority,  for  the  "sweating 
ficknesse"  did  rage  in  1529  in  Hamburg,  and  the  name 
of  the  lady  has  been  verified  as  that  of  a  person  then  liv- 
ing there,  who  was  the  relict  of  a  senator,  and  entitled  to 
be  called  worshipful.  The  only  inaccuracy  appears  to  be 
the  notice  of  the  strange  appointment  with  Coverdale, 
for  though  the  meeting  may  have  occurred,  the  assist- 
ance, as  stated,  could  hardly  have  been  rendered  by  him 
at  that  early  date,  when  his  knowledge  of  Hebrew  must 
have  been  in  a  stage  of  tenderest  infancy. 

It  has  been  rather  rashly  asserted  that  Tyndale  could 
not  have  mynded  to  print  Deuteronomy  at  Hamburg, 
there  being  no  evidence    that  a  printer   existed    there 


xxxiv  PROLEGOMENA. 

in  1529.  This  is  clearly  wrong,  for  Panzer,  Annates 
Typogr.,  vol.  i.,  p.  453,  has,  under  HAMBURGI,  the 
following  entry:

It  is  therefore  not  by  any  means  improbable  that 
Tyndale  should  have  been  mynding  to  print  at  Ham- 
burg. Foxe  seems  to  imply  that  the  first  four  books 
of  the  Pentateuch  were  already  printed,  and  to  contra- 
dict himself  in  saying  that  Coverdale  "helped  hym  in 
the  translatyng  of  the  whole  fiue  bookes  of  Mofes."  Or 
are  we  to  infer  that  Coverdale  was  engaged  on  the  work 
during  Tyndale's  absence  at  Antwerp  ?  The  case  is 
rather  knotty,  but  perhaps  not  impossible  to  solve. 
Tyndale  might  have  translated  at  Hamburg  and  have 
the  printing  done  at  Wittenberg,  for  the  traffic  on  the 
Elbe  is  of  very  ancient  date. 

But,  on  the  whole,  probability  seems  to  point  to 
Wittenberg  as  the  place  where  Tyndale  translated  the 
Pentateuch  and  had  it  printed. 

The  repeated  use  of  the  name  of  Hans  Luft,  the  fa- 
mous printer  at  Wittenberg  (in  The  obedience  of  a  Chrif-

appears  to  indicate  some  distinct  connection.  Luft's

tion renders  it  not  improbable  that  he  would  sanction

the  employment  of  a  pseudonyme  which,  though  it  could 
not  hurt  him,  might  aid  Tyndale  and  mislead  his  pur- 
suers. Wittenberg  again  was  a  much  safer  place  than 
Hamburg — it  was  especially  a  spot  which  men  of  the 
Rinck  and  Cochlaeus  stamp  shunned  like  the  pestilence, 
and  where  the  powerful  influence  of  the  Reformers  would 
shield  the  desolate  English  exile.  The  printing  press  of 
Luft  was  one  of  the  best  and  most  busy  in  Germany  and 
the  literary  resources  of  the  place  were  certainly  equal, 
probably  superior,  to  every  other  seat  of  learning  in 
Germany.  After  Tyndale's  death  John  Rogers,  his  lit- 
erary executor,  is  said  to  have  lived  at  Wittenberg,  to 
have  filled  an  ecclesiastical  position  there,  and  to  have 
produced  there  the  book  known  as  Matthew's  Bible. 

The  appearance  of  Rogers  at  Wittenberg,  so  remote 
from  Antwerp,  appears  to  favor  the  supposition  that 
he  went  there  at  the  instance  of  Tyndale,  or  in  conse- 
quence of  information  received  from  him. 

Attention  is  called  to  a  circumstance  of  peculiar  interest, 
which  possibly  may  shed  light  on  the  question  in  hand:  it 
is  the  undoubted  fact,  proved  by  the  notes  in  this  volume, 
that  Tyndale  and  Rogers  made  use  of  the  Chaldee  Para- 
phrase, which,  as  far  as  I  have  been  able  to  learn,  existed, 
down  to  the  date  of  the  preparation  of  Tyndale's  Penta- 
teuch, only  in  costly  folio  editions  of  the  Hebrew  Bible. 
Wherever  Tyndale  kept  concealed,  he  must  have  had 
access  to  one  or  other  of  the  works  mentioned  in  Helps 
used  by  Tyndale,  and  in  this  respect  again,  Wittenberg 
seems  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  case.^ 

The  facilities  of  travel  to  and  from  Wittenberg,  de- 
serve also  to  be  considered.  The  bad  and  insecure  state 
of  the  highways  of  Germany  in  the  sixteenth  century 
rendered  travel  not  only  difficult  but  very  expensive. 
The  frequent  journeys  of  Tyndale  suggest  the  proba- 
bility that  he  chose  the  safest  and  cheapest  mode  of 
travel.     He  was  practically  regarded  as  an  outlaw,  and 

1  Additional  details  relating  to  the  Pentateuch  are  given  in  the  bibliograph- 
ical notice  of  the  volume,  Chapter  III.  I  understand  that  an  octavo  edition 
of  the  Chaldee  Paraphrase  was  also  in  circulation.

it  is  difficult  to  surmise  the  expedients  by  which  on 
overland  journeys  he  could  have  eluded  the  vigilance  of 
those  who  tried  their  utmost  to  seize  him.  He  ran  no 
such  risk  on  the  water  route  from  Wittenberg  down  the 
Elbe  to  Hamburg  and  thence  by  sea  to  Antwerp;  this 
appears  a  not  improbable  solution  of  the  suddenness  of 
his  movements  in  that  city. 

But  wherever  he  had  made  his  home,  we  know  that 
he  left  it  on  at  least  two  occasions,  to  visit  Antwerp. 
His  first  visit  took  place  in  1529,  and  is  thus  referred 
to  by  Hall: 

"  Here  it  is  to  be  remembered  that  at  this  present  time  William 
Tyndale  had  newly  translated  and  imprinted  the  New  Testament 
in  English;  and  the  Bishop  of  London,  not  pleased  with  the  trans- 
lation thereof,  debated  with  himself  how  he  might  compass  and 
devise  to  destroy  that  false  and  erroneous  translation  (as  he  said); 
and  so  it  happened  that  one  Augustine  Packington,  a  merchant 
and  mercer  of  London,  and  of  a  great  honesty,  the  same  time  was 
in  Antwerp  where  the  Bishop  then  was,  and  this  Packington  was 
a  man  that  highly  favoured  Tyndale,  but  to  the  Bishop  utterly 
showed  himself  to  the  contrary. 

"The  Bishop,  desirous  to  have  his  purpose  brought  to  pass, 
communed  of  the  New  Testaments,  and  how  gladly  he  would  buy 
them,  Packington,  then,  hearing  that  he  wished  for,  said  unto  the 
Bishop,  '  My  lord,  if  it  be  your  pleasure,  I  can  in  this  matter  do 
more,  I  dare  say,  than  most  of  the  merchants  of  England  that  are 
here;  for  I  know  the  Dutchmen  and  strangers  that  have  bought 
them  of  Tyndale  and  have  them  here  to  sell;  so  that  if  it  be  your 
lordship's  pleasure  to  pay  for  them  (for  otherwise  I  canhot  come 
by  them  but  I  must  disburse  money  for  them),  I  will  then  assure 
you  to  have  every  book  of  them  that  is  imprinted  and  is  here 
unsold.'  The  Bishop,  thinking  he  had  God  by  the  toe,  when  indeed 
he  had,  as  after  he  thought,  the  Devil  by  the  fist,  said,  '  Gentle  Mr. 
Packington,  do  your  diligence  and  get  them;  and  with  all  my  heart 
I  will  pay  for  them  whatsoever  they  cost  you,  for  the  books  are  er- 
roneous and  nought,  and  I  intend  surely  to  destroy  them  all,  and 
to  burn  them  at  St.  Paul's  Cross.'  Augustine  Packington  came  to 
William  Tyndale,  and  said,  'William,  I  know  thou  art  a  poor  man, 
and  hast  a  heap  of  New  Testaments  and  books  by  thee,  for  the 
which  thou  hast  both  endangered  thy  friends  and  beggared  thyself; 
and  I  have  now  gotten  thee  a  merchant,  which  with  ready  money 
shall  despatch  thee  of  all  that  thou  hast,  if  you  think  it  so  profitable 
for  yourself.'     '  Who  is  the  merchant  ?  '  said  Tyndale.     '  The  Bishop 


BIOGRAPHICAL  NOTICE  OF  TYNDALE.      xxxvit 

of  London,'  said  Packington,  'Oh,  that  is  because  he  will  burn 
them,'  said  Tyndale.  'Yea,  marry,' quoth  Packington.  'I  am  the 
gladder,'  said  Tyndale,  '  for  these  two  benefits  shall  come  thereof: 
I  shall  get  money  to  bring  myself  out  of  debt,  and  the  whole  world 
will  cry  out  against  the  burning  of  God's  Word,  and  the  overplus 
of  the  money  that  shall  remain  to  me  shall  make  me  more  studious 
to  correct  the  said  New  Testament,  and  so  newly  to  imprint  the 
same  once  again,  and  I  trust  the  second  will  much  better  like  you 
than  ever  did  the  first.'  And  so,  forward  went  the  bargain;  the 
Bishop  had  the  books;  Packington  had  the  thanks;  and  Tyndale 
had  the  money. 

"  After  this  Tyndale  corrected  the  same  New  Testaments  again, 
and  caused  them  to  be  newly  imprinted,  so  that  they  came  thick 
and  threefold  into  England.  When  the  Bishop  perceived  that,  he 
sent  for  Packington,  and  said  to  him,  '  How  cometh  this,  that  there 
are  so  many  New  Testaments  abroad  ?  You  promised  me  that 
you  would  buy  them  all.'  Then  answered  Packington,  'Surely, 
I  bought  all  that  wer6  to  be  had:  but  I  perceive  they  have  printed 
more  since.  I  see  it  will  never  be  better  so  long  as  they  have  letters 
and  stamps  [for  printing  with]:  wherefore  you  were  best  to  buy 
the  stamps  too,  and  so  you  shall  be  sure; '  at  which  answer  the 
Bishop  smiled,  and  so  the  matter  ended. 

"  In  short  space  after,  it  fortuned  that  George  Constantine  was 
apprehended  by  Sir  Thomas  More,  who  was  then  Chancellor  of 
England  [made  Chancellor  October  24,  1529],  suspected  of  certain 
heresies.  During  the  time  that  he  was  in  the  custody  of  Master 
More,  after  divers  communications,  amongst  other  things  Mas- 
ter More  asked  of  him,  saying,  '  Constantine,  I  would  have  thee 
be  plain  with  me  in  one  thing  that  I  will  ask;  and  I  promise  thee 
I  will  show  thee  favour  in  all  other  things,  whereof  thou  art  ac- 
cused. There  is  beyond  the  sea,  Tyndale,  Joye,  and  a  great  many 
of  you:  I  know  they  cannot  live  without  help.  There  are  some  that 
help  and  succour  them  with  money;  and  thou,  being  one  of  them, 
hadst  thy  part  thereof,  and  therefore  knowest  from  whence  it  came. 
I  pray  thee,  tell  me,  who  be  they  that  help  them  thus  ? '  '  My  lord,' 
quoth  Constantine,  '  I  will  tell  you  truly:  it  is  the  Bishop  of  London 
that  hath  holpen  us,  for  he  hath  bestowed  among  us  a  great  deal  of 
money  upon  New  Testaments  to  burn  them;  and  that  hath  been, 
and  yet  is,  our  only  succour  and  comfort.'  '  Now,  by  my  troth,' 
quoth  More,  '  I  think  even  the  same,  for  so  much  I  told  the  Bishop 
before  he  went  about  it.'  " ' 

In  connection  with  this  visit  to  Antwerp,  preceding 
the  printing  of  the  Pentateuch  at  the  mysterious  "  Mal-

borow  in  the  lande  of  Hesse,"  Mr.  Demaus^  has  sug- 
gested, with  great  show  of  probability,  that  part  of  the 
money  proceeding  from  the  sale  of  New  Testaments  to 
the  bishop  of  London,  was  applied  to  the  purchase  of 
the  blocks  of  the  eleven  woodcuts  of  the  tabernacle 
and  its  furniture  scattered  over  the  book  of  Exodus. 

The  cuts  appear  in  Vostermann's  Dutch  folio  Bible 
of  1528,  a  copy  of  which  has  been  kindly  loaned  me 
for  comparison  with  the  illustrations  in  Tyndale's  Pen- 
tateuch. They  are  doubtless  identical,  although  act- 
ual measurement  shows  that  some  have  been  slightly 
trimmed  and  others  slightly  enlarged,  but  the  reduc- 
tion and  extension  applies  only  to  the  edges  and  does 
not  touch  the  objects  represented. 

Mr.  Demaus  has  called  attention  to  the  circumstance 
that  a  subsequent  edition  of  the  same  Bible  published  in 
1532  contains  a  new  set  of  illustrations,  from  which  he 
infers  that  the  change  was  due  to  the  sale  of  the  first 
set  to  Tyndale,  and  states:  "whatever  else,  therefore, 
Tyndale  may  have  done  with  any  money  received  from 
Tunstal,  it  seems  highly  probable  that  he  purchased 
with  it  the  blocks  which  were  employed  in  the  book 
of  Exodus;  and  the  rude  woodcuts  of  this  rare  work 
are  thus  invested  with  a  curious  interest,  when  we  look 
at  them  as  virtually  the  contribution  of  that  prelate, 
who  prided  himself  on  his  zeal  in  condemning  and 
burning  the  English  Bible." 

Tyndale  paid  a  second  visit  to  Antwerp  in  the  spring 
of  1 531,  doubtless  in  response  to  a  letter  from  Ste- 
phen Vaughan,  envoy  to  the  princess-regent  of  the 
Netherlands,  holding  out  to  the  exile  hopes  of  pardon. 
Vaughan,  as  appears  from  a  despatch  to  Henry  VHI., 
dated  Barrugh,  Jan.  26,  1530  [i.  e.,  1531]  had  tried  to 
open  communication  with  Tyndale.  He  says.  "...  I 
have  written  three  sundry  letters  unto  William  Tyndale, 
and  the  same  sent  for  the  more  safety  to  three  sundry 
places,  to  Frankforde,  Hanborughe,  and  Marleborugh. 
I  then  not  [being]  assured  in  which  of  the  same  he  was,

BIOGRAPHICAL  NOTICE  OF  TYNDALE.       XXXIX 

and  had  very  good  hope,  after  I  heard  say  in  England, 
that  he  would,  upon  the  promise  of  your  Majesty,  and  of 
your  most  gracious  safe  conduct,  be  content  to  repair 
and  come  into  England."^ 

That  letter  reached  Tyndale,  and  hardly  three  months 
later  he  sought  an  interview  with  Vaughan,  who  nar- 
rates it  in  his  letter  to  the  king  as  follows: 

"The  day  before  the  date  hereof  [/.  e.,  April  17]  I  spake  with 
Tyndale  without  the  town  of  Antwerp,  and  by  this  means:  he  sent 
a  certain  person  to  seek  me,  whom  he  had  advised  to  say  that  a  cer- 
tain friend  of  mine,  unknown  to  the  messenger,  was  very  desirous 
to  speak  with  me;  praying  me  to  take  pains  to  go  unto  him,  to  such 
place  as  he  should  bring  me.  Then  I  to  the  messenger,  '  What 
is  your  friend,  and  where  is  he  ?  '  '  His  name  I  know  not,'  said  he; 
'but  if  it  be  your  pleasure  to  go  where  he  is,  I  will  be  glad  thither 
to  bring  you.'  Thus,  doubtful  what  this  matter  meant,  I  concluded 
to  go  with  him,  and  followed  him  till  he  brought  me  without  the 
gates  of  Antwerp,  into  a  field  lying  nigh  unto  the  same;  where  was 
abiding  me  this  said  Tyndale.  At  our  meeting,  '  Do  you  not  know 
me  ?' said  this  Tyndale.  'I  do  not  well  remember  you,' said  I  to 
him.  'My  name,'  said  he,  'is  Tyndale.'  'But  Tyndale!'  said  I, 
'Fortunate  be  our  meeting.'  Then  Tyndale,  'Sir,  I  have  been  ex- 
ceedingly desirous  to  speak  with  you.'  'And  I  with  you;  what  is 
your  mind?'  'Sir,' said  he,  'I  am  informed  that  the  king's  grace 
taketh  great  displeasure  with  me  for  putting  forth  of  certain  books, 
which  I  lately  made  in  these  parts;  but  specially  for  the  book  named 
the  Practice  of  Prelates;  whereof  I  have  no  little  marvel,  considering 
that  in  it  I  did  but  warn  his  grace  of  the  subtle  demeanour  of  the 
clergy  of  his  realm  towards  his  person,  and  of  the  shameful  abusions 
by  them  practised,  not  a  little  threatening  the  displeasure  of  his 
grace  and  weal  of  his  realm:  in  which  doing  I  shewed  and  declared 
the  heart  of  a  true  subject,  which  sought  the  safeguard  of  his  royal 
person  and  weal  of  his  commons,  to  the  intent  that  his  grace,  thereof 
warned,  might  in  due  time  prepare  his  remedy  against  their  subtle 
dreams.  If  [it  be]  for  my  pains  therein  taken,  if  for  my  poverty,  if 
for  mine  exile  out  of  my  natural  country,  and  bitter  absence  from 
my  friends,  if  for  my  hunger,  my  thirst,  my  cold,  the  great  danger 
wherewith  I  am  everywhere  compassed,  and  finally  if  for  innumerable 
other  hard  and  sharp  fightings  which  I  endure,  not  yet  feeling  of 
their  asperity,  by  reason  I  hoped  with  my  labours  to  do  honour  to 
God,  true  service  to  my  prince,  and  pleasure  to  his  commons;  how 

1  The  letter  is  preserved  in  the  Cotton  MSS.  Galba,  B.  X.  46;  it  has  been 
printed  in  Anderson,  Annals,  B.  I.,  §  8,  and  by  Demaus,  /.  c,  p.  288  sqq.

is  it  that  his  grace,  this  considering,  may  either  by  himself  think; 
or  by  the  persuasions  of  other  be  brought  to  think,  that  in  this 
doing  I  should  not  shew  a  pure  mind,  or  true  and  incorrupt  zeal 
and  affection  to  his  grace  ?  Was  there  in  me  any  such  mind,  when 
I  warned  his  grace  to  beware  of  his  cardinal,  whose  iniquity  he 
shortly  after  proved  according  to  my  writing  ?  Doth  this  deserve 
hatred  ?  Again,  may  his  grace,  being  a  Christian  prince,  be  so  un- 
kind to  God,  which  hath  commanded  his  word  to  be  spread  through- 
out the  world,  to  give  more  faith  to  wicked  persuasions  of  men, 
which  presuming  above  God's  wisdom,  and  contrary  to  that  which 
Christ  expressly  commandeth  in  his  testament,  dare  say  that  it  is 
not  lawful  for  the  people  to  have  the  same  in  a  tongue  that  they 
understand;  because  the  purity  thereof  should  open  men's  eyes  to 
see  their  wickedness  ?  Is  there  more  danger  in  the  king's  subjects 
than  in  the  subjects  of  all  other  princes,  which  in  every  of  their 
tongues  have  the  same,  under  privilege  of  their  sufferance  ?  As  I 
now  am,  very  death  were  more  pleasant  to  me  than  life,  considering 
man's  nature  to  be  such  as  can  bear  no  truth.' 

"  Thus,  after  a  long  conversation  had  between  us,  for  my  part 
making  answer  as  my  wit  would  serve  me,  which  were  too  long  to 
write,  I  assayed  him  with  gentle  persuasions,  to  know  whether  he 
vi'ould  come  into  England;  ascertaining  him  that  means  should  be 
made,  if  he  thereto  were  minded,  without  his  peril  or  danger,  that 
he  might  so  do:  and  that  what  surety  he  would  advise  for  the  same 
purpose,  should,  by  labour  of  friends,  be  obtained  of  your  majesty. 
But  to  this  he  answered,  that  he  neither  would  nor  durst  come  into 
England,  albeit  your  grace  would  promise  him  never  so  much 
surety;  fearing  lest,  as  he  hath  before  written,  your  promise  made 
should  shortly  be  broken,  by  the  persuasion  of  the  clergy,  which 
would  affirm  that  promises  made  with  heretics  ought  not  to  be  kept." 

"  After  this,  he  told  me  how  he  had  finished  a  work  against  my 
lord  chancellor's  book,  and  would  not  put  it  in  print  till  such  time  as 
your  grace  had  seen  it;  because  he  apperceiveth  your  displeasure 
towards  him  for  hasty  putting  forth  of  his  other  work,  and  because 
it  should  appear  that  he  is  not  of  so  obstinate  mind  as  he  thinks  he 
is  reported  to  your  grace.  This  is  the  substance  of  his  communica- 
tion had  with  me,  which  as  he  spake,  I  have  written  to  your  grace, 
word  for  word,  as  near  as  I  could  by  any  possible  means  bring  to 
remembrance.  My  trust  therefore  is,  that  your  grace  will  not  but 
take  my  labours  in  the  best  part  I  thought  necessary  to  be  written 
unto  your  grace.  After  these  words,  he  then,  being  something  fear- 
ful of  me,  lest  I  would  have  pursued  him,  and  drawing  also  towards 
night,  he  took  his  leave  of  me,  and  departed  from  the  town,  and  I 
toward  the  town,  saying,  •  I  should  shortly,  peradventure,  see  him 
again,  or  if  not,  hear  from  him.'  Howbeit  I  suppose  he  .-ifteiward 
returned  to  the  town  by  another  way;  for  there  is  no  likelihood  that 


BIOGRAPHICAL   NOTICE   OF   TYNDALE.  xli 

he  should  lodge  without  the  town.  Hasty  to  pursue  him  I  was  not, 
because  I  was  in  some  likelihood  to  speak  shortly  again  with  him; 
and  in  pursuing  him  I  might  perchance  have  failed  of  my  purpose, 
and  put  myself  in  danger. 

"To  declare  to  your  majesty  what,  in  my  poor  judgment,  I  think 
of  the  man,  I  ascertain  your  grace,  I  have  not  communed  with  a 
man  " — ' 

The  effect  of  this  letter  on  Henry  is  clearly  stated  in 
the  reply  written  by  Cromwell,  who  appears  to  have  sub- 
stituted, not  improbably  at  the  King's  dictation,  the  harsh 
expressions  given  in  the  text  for  the  more  temperate 
forms  of  the  original  draft,  as  printed  in  the  footnotes. 

"Stephen  Vaughan,  I  commend  me  unto  you;  and  have  received 
your  letters,  dated  at  Andwerpe,  the  xviii.  day  of  April,  with  also  that 
part  of  Tyndale's  book  inclosed  in  leather,  which  ye  with  your  letters 
directed  to  the  king's  highness;  after  the  receipt  whereof  I  did  repair 
unto  the  court,  and  there  presented  the  same  unto  his  royal  majesty, 
who  made  me  answer  for  that  time,  that  his  highness  at  opportune 
leisure  should  read  the  contents  as  well  of  your  letters  as  also  the 
said  book.  And  at  my  next  repair  thither  it  pleased  his  highness  to

Cromwell  then  adverts  to  Frith  (or  Fryth)  saying 
that  the  King,  "  hearing  tell  of  his  towardness  in  good

advancing  the  venemous  and  pestiferous  works,  errone- 
ous and  seditious  opinions  of  Tyndale;"  and  begging 
Vaughan  to  use  his  influence  with  Frith  "  to  leave  his 
wilful  opinions,  and  like  a  good  Christian  to  return  unto 
his  native  country  where  he  assuredly  shall  find  the 
king's  highness  most  merciful,  and  benignly,  upon  his 
conversion,  disposed  to  accept  him  to  his  grace  and 
mercy."  The  letter  concludes  with  an  exhortation  to 
Vaughan,  "for  his  love  of  God,  utterly  to  forsake,  leave 
and  withdraw  his  affection  from  the  said  Tyndale,  and 
all  his  sect."^ 

Cromwell  added  a  postscript,  after  the  letter  had 
been  read  and  approved  by  the  king,  which  virtually 
nullified  its  contents,  for  he  said:  "Notwithstanding  the 
premises  in  my  letter,  if  it  were  possible  by  good  and 
wholesome  exhortations  to  reconcile  and  convert  the 
said  Tyndale  ...  I  doubt  not  but  the  king's  highness 
would  be  much  joyous  of  his  conversion  .  .  .  and  if  then 
he  would  return  into  this  realm  .  .  .  undoubtedly  the 
king's  majesty  refuseth  none."^ 

Upon  the  receipt  of  Cromwell's  letter,  Vaughan  had 
a  second  interview  with  Tyndale,  the  account  of  which 
is  given  in  his  reply,  dated  Bergen-op-Zoom,  May  i8, 
as  follows: 

"  I  have  again  been  in  hand  to  persuade  Tyndale.  And  to  draw 
him  the  rather  to  favour  my  persuasions,  and  not  to  think  the  same 
feigned,  I  shewed  him  a  clause  contained  in  master  Cromwell's  letter 
containing  these  words  following:  And  notwithstanding  other  the 
premises,  in  this  my  letter  contained,  if  it  were  possible,  by  good 
and  wholesome  exhortations,  to  reconcile  and  convert  the  said  Tyn- 
dale from  the  train  and  affection  which  he  now  is  in,  and  to  excerpte 
and  take  away  the  opinions  sorely  rooted  in  him,  I  doubt  not  but 
the  kings  highness  would  be  much  joyous  of  his  conversion  and 
amendment;  and  so  beittg  converted,  if  then  he  would  return  into

mercy,  pity,  and  compassion,  that  he  refuseth  none  which  he  seeth 
to  submit  themselves  to  the  obedience  and  good  order  of  the  world. 
In  these  words  I  thought  to  be  such  sweetness  and  virtue  as  were 
able  to  pierce  the  hardest  heart  of  the  world;  and,  as  I  thought,  so 
it  came  pass.  For  after  sight  thereof  I  perceived  the  man  to  be 
exceedingly  altered,  and  to  take  the  same  very  near  unto  his  heart, 
in  such  wise  that  water  stood  in  his  eyes;  and  he  answered,  '  What 
gracious  words  are  these  !  I  assure  you,'  said  he,  '  if  it  would  stand 
with  the  king's  most  gracious  pleasure  to  grant  only  a  bare  text  of 
the  scripture  to  be  put  forth  among  his  people,  like  as  is  put  forth 
among  the  subjects  of  the  emperor  in  these  parts,  and  of  other 
Christian  princes,  be  it  of  the  translation  of  what  person  soever  shall 
please  his  majesty,  I  shall  immediately  make  faithful  promise  never 
to  write  more,  nor  abide  two  days  in  these  parts  after  the  same;  but 
immediately  repair  into  his  realm,  and  there  most  humbly  submit 
myself  at  the  feet  of  his  royal  majesty,  offering  my  body  to  suffer 
what  pain  or  torture,  yea,  what  death  his  grace  will,  so  that  this  be 
obtained.  And  till  that  time  I  will  abide  the  asperity  of  all  chances, 
whatsoever  shall  come,  and  endure  my  life  in  as  much  pains  as  it 
is  able  to  bear  and  suffer.  And  as  concerning  my  reconcilation,  his 
grace  may  be  assured,  that  whatsoever  I  may  have  said  or  written 
in  all  my  life  against  the  honour  of  God's  word,  and  so  proved,  the 
same  shall  I  before  his  majesty  and  all  the  world  utterly  renounce 
and  forsake;  and  with  most  humble  and  meek  mind  embrace  the 
truth,  abhorring  all  error  soever,  at  the  most  gracious  and  benign 
request  of  his  royal  majesty,  of  whose  wisdom,  prudence  and  learn- 
ing I  hear  mo  great  praise  and  commendation,  than  of  any  creature 
living.  But  if  those  things  which  I  have  written  be  true  and  stand 
with  God's  word,  why  should  his  majesty,  having  so  excellent  a  gi 
of  knowledge  in  the  scriptures,  move  me  to  do  any  thing  against 
my  conscience  ? ' — with  many  other  words  which  be  too  long  to 
write.  I  have  some  good  hope  in  the  man;  and  would  not  doubt  to 
bring  him  to  some  good  point,  were  it  that  something,  now  and 
then,  might  proceed  from  your  majesty  towards  me,  whereby  the 
man  might  take  the  better  comfort  of  my  persuasions.  I  advertised 
the  same  Tyndale  that  he  should  not  put  forth  the  same  book,  till 
your  most  gracious  pleasure  were  known:  whereunto  he  answered, 
'mine  advertisement  came  too  late;  for  he  feared  lest  one  that  had 
his  copy  would  put  it  very  shortly  in  print,  which  he  would  let 
if  he  could;  if  not,  there  is  no  remedy.'  I  shall  stay  it  as  much  as  I 
can,  as  yet  it  is  not  come  forth;  nor  will  not  in  a  while,  by  that  I 
perceive."'

Vaughan  had  yet  another  conversation  with  Tyndale, 
for  he  writes  on  June  19:  "  I  have  spoken  with  Tyndale, 
and  shewed  him  as  you  wrote  me  the  king's  royal  pleas- 
ure was,  but  I  find  him  always  singing  one  note."' 

This  concludes  the  negotiations  set  on  foot  by  Crom- 
well to  induce  Tyndale  to  return  to  England,  and  our 
knowledge  of  him,  except  through  his  writings,  until  his 
final  settlement  at  Antwerp  in  the  summer  of  1534. 

The  following  passage  in  a  letter  of  Poyntz,  bearing 
date  August  25  (Cotton  MSS.  Galba.  B.  X.)  fixes  the  date 
of  Tyndale's  final  settlement  at  Antwerp.  "This  man 
[William  Tyndale]  was  lodged  with  me  three  quarters  of 
a  year,  and  was  taken  out  of  my  house  by  a  sergeant-at- 
arms,  otherwise  called  a  dore-wardore,  and  the  Procureur- 
General  of  Brabant."  Reckoning  backward  from  the  day 
of  his  arrest,  established  by  the  official  statement  given 
in  the  note^  to  have  occurred  on  the  23rd  or  24th  of  May, 
1535,  Tyndale  seems  to  have  reached  Antwerp  sometime 
in  August,  1534. 

The  extract  from  Foxe  (p.  xxi.),  gives  a  clear  account 
of  his  life  there.  It  is  perhaps  not  unnecessary  to  add 
that  he  held  no  official  position,  but  engaged  in  the  vol- 
untary work  of  an  Evangelist.  Rogers  arrived  at  Ant- 
werp sometime  in  the  autumn  of  that  year  as  English 
Chaplain  and  his  acquaintance  with  Tyndale  speedily 
ripened  into  friendship.     He  worked  with  him  and  there

cording to  Foxe,  is  October  6,  1536,  and  his  arrest  consequently  occurred  on 
the  23rd  or  24th  of  May,  1535.

is  no  reason  to  doubt  the  statement  that  the  papers  of 
Tyndale  passed  into  his  hands,  and  that  he  embodied  in 
his  edition  of  the  Bible,  known  as  Matthew's  Bible,  the 
remaining  books  of  the  Scripture  which  Tyndale  had  trans- 
lated, viz.,  the  books  of  Joshua,  Judges;  i  and  2  Samuel,  i 
and  2  Kings,  i  and  2  Chronicles.'  His  literary  labors  at 
Antwerp  resulted  in  the  revised  edition  of  the  book  of  Gen- 
esis and  the  revision  of  the  New  Testament;  both  were 
published  in  1534.  How  much  of  the  other  books  just 
named  was  done  between  1534  and  1536  is  not  known. 

The  letter  of  Tebold  or  Theobald,  a  godson  of  Crom- 
well, who  seems  to  have  been  instructed  to  collect  infor- 
mation on  the  circumstances  connected  with  the  arrest 
of  Tyndale,  is  a  valuable  addition  to  the  narrative  of  Foxe 
(see  page  xx.). 

"  News  here,  at  this  time,  be  none,  but  that  here  is  most  earnest 
communication  that  the  French  Queen  [Leonora,  sister  of  the  Em- 
peror; Charles  V.]  and  her  sister  the  Queen  of  Hungary  [the  Regent 
of  the  Low  Countries],  shall  meet  together  at  Cambray  now  afore 
Michaelmas.  All  these  Low  Countries  here  be  most  earnest  with 
the  Bishop  of  Rome  and  his  traditions;  and  therefore  he  hath  now 
sweetly  rewarded  them,  sending  them  his  deceitful  blessing,  with 
remission  of  all  their  sins,  so  [on  the  condition  thatj  they  fast  three 
days  together,  and  this  is  given  gratis  without  any  money.  Here 
is  an  evil  market  [a  bad  bargain  for  the  pope],  that  whereas  he  was 
wont  to  sell  his  pardons  by  great  suit  and  money,  now  he  is  glad 
to  offer  them  for  nothing.  And  yet  a  great  many  make  no  haste  to 
receive  them  where  they  be  offered.  I  do  hear  of  certain  that  the 
Bishop  of  Rome  is  contented,  and  doth  desire  to  have  a  General 
Council,  and  that  this  matter  is  earnestly  entreated  of  divers.  I  am 
sure,  if  this  be  truth,  your  Lordship  have  heard  of  it  or  this  time,^ 
more  at  large. 

"  He  that  did  take  Tyndale  is  abiding  at  Louvain,  with  whom 
I  did  there  speak;  which  doth  not  only  there  rejoice  of  that  act, 
but  goeth  about  to  do  many  more  Englishmen  like  displeasure;  and 
did  advance  this,  I  being  present,  with  most  railing  words  against 
our  King,  his  Highness,  calling  him  'Tyrannum  ac  expilatorem  rei- 
publicae '  \tyr  ant  and  robber  of  the  Commonwealth'].  He  is  appointed 
to  go  shortly  from  Louvain  to  Paris  in  France,  and  there  to  tarry, 
because  he  feareth  that  English  merchants  that  be  in  Antwerp  will 
hire  some  men  privily  to  do  him  some  displeasure  unawares.

Mr.  Thomas  Leigh  [a  merchant  held  in  much  esteem  by  Cranmer 
and  Vaughan],  which,  according  to  your  v^^riting,  hath  delivered 
unto  me  twenty  crowns  of  the  [same],  which  money,  God  willing, 
I  will  deliver  where  your  Grace  hath  assigned.  Within  these  six- 
teen days  I  take  my  journey  from  Antwerp  about  the  last  day  of 
July  [letter  begun,  therefore,  July  15th].  And  because  at  my  first 
arrivance  to  Antwerp  I  found  company  ready  to  go  up  withal  to 
Cologne  [on  his  way  to  Nuremberg],  I  went  to  see  my  old  acquaint- 
ance at  Louvain;  whereas  [where]  I  found  Doctor  Bockenham, 
sometime  prior  in  the  Black  Friars  in  Cambridge;  and  another  of  his 
brethren  with  him.  I  had  no  leisure  to  commune  long  with  them; 
but  he  showed  me  that  at  his  departing  from  England  he  went 
straight  to  Edinburgh  in  Scotland,  there  continuing  unto  [Easter] 
last  past  [March  28] ;  and  then  came  over  to  Louvain,  where  he  and 
his  companions  doth  continue  in  the  house  of  the  Black  Friars  there; 
having  little  acquaintance  [or]  comfort  but  for  their  money;  for  they 
pay  for  their  [meat]  and  drink  a  certain  sum  of  money  in  the  year. 
All  succour  that  I  can  perceive  them  to  have  is  only  by  him  which 
hath  taken  Tyndale,  called  Harry  Philips,  with  whom  I  had  long 
and  familiar  communication,  [for]  I  made  him  believe  that  I  was 
minded  to  tarry  and  study  at  Louvain.  I  could  not  perceive  the 
contrary  by  his  communication,  but  that  Tyndale  shall  diej  which 
he  doth  follow,  \i.  e.,  urge  on],  and  procureth  with  all  diligent  en- 
deavour, rejoicing  much  therein;  saying  that  he  had  a  commission 
out  also  for  to  have  taken  Doctor  Barnes  and  George  Joye  with 
other.  Then  I  showed  him  that  it  was  conceived  both  in  England 
and  in  Antwerp  that  George  Joye  should  be  \i.  e.,  had  been]  of  coun- 
sel with  him  in  taking  of  Tyndale;  and  he  answered  that  he  never 
saw  George  Joye  to  his  knowledge,  much  less  he  should  know  him. 
This  I  do  write,  because  George  Joye  is  greatly  blamed  and  abused 
among  merchants,  and  many  other  that  were  his  friends,  falsely  and 
wrongfully. 

"  But  this  foresaid  Harry  Philips  showed  me  that  there  was  no 
man  of  his  counsel  but  a  monk  of  Stratford  Abbey,  beside  London 
[Stratford-le-Bow],  called  Gabriel  Donne,  which  at  that  time  was 
student  at  Louvain,  and  in  house  with  this  foresaid  Harry  Philips. 
But  now  within  these  five  or  six  weeks  he  is  come  to  England,  and, 
by  the  help  of  Mr.  Secretary,  hath  obtained  an  abbey  of  a  thousand 
njarks  by  the  year  in  the  west  country. 

"This  said  Philips  is  greatly  afraid,  (in  so  much  as  I  can  per- 
ceive,) that  the  English  merchants  that  be  in  Antwerp,  will  lay 
watch  to  do  him  some  displeasure  privily.  Wherefore  of  truth  he 
hath  sold  his  books,  in  Louvain,  to  the  value  of  twenty  marks  worth 
sterling,  intending  to  go  hence  to  Paris;  and  doth  tarry  here  upon 
nothing  but  of  the  return  of  his  servant  which  he  has  long  since

sent  to  England  with  letters.  And  by  cause  of  his  long  tarrying, 
he  is  marvellously  afraid  lest  he  be  taken  and  come  into  Master 
Secretary's  handling,  with  his  letters.  Either  this  Philips  hath 
great  friends  in  England  to  maintain  him  here;  or  else,  as  he  showed 
me,  he  is  well  beneficed  in  the  bishopric  of  Exeter.  He  raileth  at 
Louvain  and  in  the  Queen  of  Hungary's  Court,  most  shamefully 
against  our  King  his  Grace  and  others  [Cranmer  and  Cromwell 
probably].  For,  I  being  present,  he  called  our  King  his  Highness, 
tyrannum,  expilatorem  reipubliccB,  with  many  other  railing  words, 
rejoicing  that  he  trusteth  to  see  the  Emperor  to  scourge  his  High- 
ness with  his  Council  and  friends.  Also  he  saith,  that  Mr.  Secre- 
tary hath  privily  gone  about  matters,  here  in  Flanders  and  Brabant, 
which  are  secretly  come  to  the  knowledge  of  the  Queen  of  Hungary, 
the  Governess  here,  which  she  reckoneth,  one  day,  at  her  pleasure 
and  time,  to  declare  to  his  rebuke.  What  this  meaneth  I  cannot  tell, 
neither  I  could  hear  no  farther;  but  if  I  had  tarried  there  any  time, 
I  should  have  heard  more,"  etc.

The  plot  to  seize  Tyndale  and  to  bring  him  to  trial 
for  heresy  was  doubtless  due  to  astute  contrivance  in  Eng- 
land, but  thus  far  no  positive  evidence  has  been  discov- 
ered to  fasten  the  charge  either  on  Gardiner  or  any  one 
else.  Donne  and  Phillips  are  admitted  to  have  acted 
under  instructions  of  persons  strong  in  pecuniary  ability, 
adepts  in  craft,  and  invincible  in  hatred.  Henry  VIIL 
and  Cromwell  cannot  be  charged  with  complicity,  but 
may  not  be  exonerated  from  indifference  and  neglect.

ders, the  fate  of  Tyndale  was  sealed,  but  though  his 
extradition  could  not  be  demanded  de  jure,  the  influ- 
ence of  an  accredited  "man  of  reputation"  might  have 
secured  his  liberation.^ 

The  chief  promoter  and  agent  in  stirring  up  interest  on 
behalf  of  Tyndale  was  Poyntz,  whose  narrative  given  by 
Foxe  at  great  length  cannot  be  reproduced  here.     In  re-

sponse  to  his  indefatigable  energy  and  self-denial  he  ob- 
tained letters  from  Cromwell,  but  his  efforts  were  cut 
short  by  his  own  arrest  and  imprisonment,  brought  about 
by  Phillips,  who  had  preferred  against  him  also  the 
charge  of  heresy.^ 

The  record  of  the  trial  of  Tyndale  appears  to  have 
been  destroyed  or  lost.  From  a  document  in  the  Archives 
of  the  Chambre  des  Comptes  at  Brussels  the  names  of  the 
leading  members  of  the  commission  nominated  for  his 
trial  by  the  Regent,  Mary  of  Hungary,  have  been  ob- 
tained.^ The  Procureur-General  has  been  represented 
as  a  monster  of  wickedness  and  cruelty;  the  Dean  of  St. 
Peter's  is  charged  with  holding  the  maxim  that  "  It  is  no 
great  matter,  whether  they  that  die  on  account  of  religion 
be  guilty  or  innocent,  provided  we  terrify  the  people  by 
such  examples;  which  generally  succeeds  best  when  per- 
sons eminent  for  learning,  riches,  nobility,  or  high  station, 

'  The  narrative  of  Poyntz  is  found  in  Foxe  and  has  been  reprinted  in  full 
by  Demaus,  /.  c.  p.  443  sqq.  In  the  same  work  may  be  read  the  letter  of 
Poyntz  to  his  brother,  Cotton  MSS.  Galba,  B,  X.,  as  well  as  a  letter  from 
Flegge,  an  English  merchant  at  Antwerp,  to  Cromwell  advising  him  what 
had  been  done  on  behalf  of  Tyndale.     Cotton  MSS.  Galba,  B.  X. 

2  The  document  printed  by  Demaus,  /.  c.  p.  498  sqq.  is  here  reproduced. 
The  very  able  and  interesting  account  he  has  constructed  of  the  probable  order 
observed  in  the  trial  of  Tyndale  is  perhaps  the  most  successful  portion  of  a 
volume  which  should  be  read  by  all  desirous  to  understand  the  case.  He  has 
furnished  also  sketches  of  Pierre  Dufief,  the  Procureur-General,  and  of  two  of 
the  most  prominent  clerics  on  the  commission,  Ruwart  Tapper  and  Jacques 
Lathomus.     The  document  reads  as  follows:

olic faith;  so  that  they  have  been  occupied  at  Vilvorde  and  elsewhere  on  different  days,  as  ap- 
pears from  the  contents  of  their  declaration  of  their  engagements,  amounting  for  tlie  said

are  thus  sacrificed;"  and  of  Lathomus,  the  third  of  the 
leading  members  of  the  commission,  it  is  narrated  that 
the  part  he  had  taken  in  the  conviction  of  Tyndale  filled 
him  with  remorse,  if  not  despair.^  Tried  by  such  a  com- 
mission, condemnation  was  inevitable,  for  the  writings  of 
Tyndale  abound  in  sentiments  which  the  Louvain  the- 
ologians could  have  had  no  difficulty  in  proving  to  have 
been  rank  heresy.  The  passage  in  Foxe  that  "  there  was 
much  writing  and  great  difputation  to  and  fro  between 
him  [Tyndale]  and  them  of  the  Vniversitie  of  Louvain, 
in  such  sort  that  they  had  all  enough  to  do,  and  more 
than  they  could  well  wield,  to  answer  the  authorities  and 
testimonies  of  the  Scripture,  whereupon  he  most  pithily 
grounded  his  doctrine,"  sheds  light  upon  the  manner  in 
which  the  trial  was  conducted.  It  was  all  in  writing; 
Tyndale's  own  defence  has  not  yet  come  to  light,  but  the 
reply  of  Lathomus,  printed  in  his  Works,  has  been  pre- 
served. The  publication  of  that  treatise  would  be  a  val- 
uable contribution  to  the  history  of  Tyndale. 

This  notice  is  concluded  with  a  precious  memento  of 
William  Tyndale  in  the  text  of  a  touching  letter  written 
by  Tyndale  in  his  prison  at  Vilvorde  in  the  winter  of  1535. 
It  is  without  date  and  superscription,  and  was  doubtless 
addressed  to  Antoine  de  Berghes,  Marquis  of  Bergen-op- 
Zoom,  who  held  the  office  of  Governor  of  the  Castle  of 
Vilvorde  in  1530.  M.  Galesloot  found  it  in  the  Archives 
of  the  Council  of  Brabant,  and  M.  Gachard  permitted  Mr. 
Francis  Fry  of  Bristol  to  have  it  photographed;  from  a

princeps,  posteaquam  stult^  et  puerili  concione  quam  Bruxellse  habuit  coram

rentum  Lathomum,  eumque  domi  clausum  tenuerunt.  Ab  eo  tempore  usque  ad 
postremum  spiritum  nihil  aliud  clamavit  Lathomus  quam  '  se  condemnatum 
esse,  -se  a  Deo  rejectum  esse,  nee  ullam  spem  salutis  aut  venise  sitft  amphus  esse 
reliquam,  ut  qui  veritatem  agnitam  impugnisset.'  "  The  last  clause  appears  to 
refer  to  Tyndale.  The  whole  passage  is  taken  from  Demaus,  /.  c.  p.  456,  who 
says,  that  it  is  given  by  H.  Janssen,  yacobus  Propositus,  on  the  authority  of  Diaz.

that  you  are  not  unacquainted

I  beseech  your  lordship,  even  by 
the  Lord  Jesus,  that  if  I  am  to 
pass  the  winter  here,  to  urge 
upon  the  lord  commissary,  if  he 
will  deign,  to  send  me  from  my 
goods  in  his  keeping  a  warmer 
cap,  for  I  suffer  greatly  from  cold 
in  the  head,  being  troubled  with 
a  continual  catarrh,  which  is 
aggravated  in  this  prison  vault. 
A  warmer  coat  also,  for  that 
which  I  have  is  very  thin.  Also 
cloth  for  repairing  my  leggings. 
My  overcoat  is  worn  out;  the 
shirts  also  are  worn  out.  He  has 
a  woolen  shirt  of  mine,  if  he  will 
please  send  it.  I  have  also  with 
him  leggings  of  heavier  cloth  for 
overwear.  He  likewise  has  warm- 
er nightcaps:  I  also  ask  for  leave 
to  use  a  lamp  in  the  evening,  for 
it  is  tiresome  to  sit  alone  in  the 
dark.  But  above  all,  I  beg  and 
entreat  your  clemency  earnestly 
to  intercede  with  the  lord  com- 
missary, that  he  would  deign  to 
allow  me  the  use  of  my  Hebrew 
Bible,  Hebrew  Grammar,  and

The  evidence,  furnished  on  every  page  of  the  present 
volume,  that  Tyndale  translated  the  Pentateuch  direct 
from  the  Hebrew,  is  strikingly  confirmed  by  the  passage 
in  which  he  entreats  and  beseeches  the  Governor  to  send 
him  his  Hebrew  Bible,  Hebrew  Grammar  and  Hebrew 
Dictionary.

Sewell,  D.D.,  Warden  of  New  College,  Oxford,  that  gentleman  has  kindly  in- 
formed me  that  MS.  320  is  the  work  of  Wiclif,  not  of  Tyndale,  and  sent  me 
the  following  extract  from  Catalogus  Codicum  MSS.  qui  in  Collegiis  Aulisque 
Oxoniensibus  hodie  observantur,  by  H.  O.  Coxe,  late  Librarian  of  the  Bodleian. 

t  "  CCCXX. 
IT  "  Codex  chartaceus,  in  folio  minori,  ff.  45,  sec.  xv;  olim  Thomas  Smythe. 
IT  "  The  Psalms  of  David,  according  to  the  earlier  version  of  Wycliffe's  translation, 
with  two  prologues.     The  Version  agrees  with  that  of  ms.  No.  66  above  described. — At  the 
end  are, 

1.  "  The  songs  of  Moses,  Anna,  Simeon,  &c.  taken  from  the  Old  &  New  Testament, 

2.  "  The  Creed  of  St  Athanasius, 

3.  "An  hymn  to  the  Virgin  by  William  Huchen:  Beg. 

"  Swete  and  benygne  moder  and  may 
Turtill  true  flower  of  women  alle, 
Aurora  bryght  clere  as  the  day. 
Noblest  of  hewe  thus  we  the  calle." 

Dr.  Sewell  adds:  "The  words  By  William  Huchen  are  found  at  the  bot- 
tom of  the  page  on  which  the  hymn  to  the  Virgin  occurs,  being  the  last  page 
of  the  MS.  There  is  no  doubt  that  there  is  nothing  of  Tyndale's  in  the  MS. 
the  date  of  which  is  of  the  fifteenth  century.  The  MS.  No.  66,  which  Mr. 
Coxe  refers  to  contains  The  Books  of  the  Old  Testament,  according  to  the  later 
version  of  fohn  Wycliffe,  &c.,  &c.  I  have  compared  the  versions  of  the 
song  of  Simeon  by  Tyndale  and  by  Wyckliffe,  and  am  sure  that  the  version  in  the 
MS.  in  the  Library  of  New  College  is  Wyckliffe's  and  not  Tyndale's." 

The  name  William  Huchen  resembling  Tyndale's  pseudonyme  has  probably 
occasioned  the  erroneous  notice  in  Wood's  list,  taken  from  Tanner.

into  English  by  that  noble  and  venerable  Martyr  William  Tyn- 
dale who  first  published  the  New  Testament  in  English  in  132^ 
In  his  own  handwriting  and  accompanied  by  his  own  drawings 
in  1302. 

This  is  the  Title,  drawn  up  by  Mr.  George  Offor,  of  a  Manuscript 
now  (1884)  in  the  Lenox  Library,  New  York,  concerning  whose  ac- 
quisition Mr.  Offor  says  in  the  Preface:  "In  1808  it  came  into  the 
possession  of  my  kind  old  antiquarian  friend,  the  Revd.  Henry 
White  of  Lichfield  Cathedral,  and  from  about  the  year  181 5  it  became 
the  pearl  of  my  great  collection  of  English  Bibles." 

No  account  in  print  having  come  to  the  notice  of  the  present 
writer,  he  here  presents  the  following  description  of  this  interesting 
Manuscript. 

An  antique  ecclesiastical  oaken  case,  richly  carved,  showing  on 
the  upper  cover  a  Madonna  seated,  on  the  lower  cover,  a  figure  of 
Justice  with  sword  and  scales,  enclosing  a  volume  bound  (1850)  in 
morocco,  in-4,  the  cut  page  lOa  in.  x  8|  in.,  46  ff.  in  the  following  order:

"HENRY  WHITE,  Close,  Lichfield,  November  13th,  1808  "in  his 
handwriting,  i  f. ; — then  follow  26  ff.,  each  displaying  on  the  recto  a 
full  page  drawing  in  India  ink,  water  colours,  and  gold,  of  Scripture 
topics  connected  with  the  Gospels  given  on  the  verso  of  each  preced- 
ing leaf,  except  the  first  two,  illustrating  the  Presentation  of  John 
Baptist  and  the  Purification  of  the  Virgin.  The  Gospels  appear  in 
illuminated  borders  in  compartments  of  unequal  size,  the  largest 
measuring  6 /«.  x  3^/«.,  the  smallest  5  ii«.  X34/«.  Recto  of  Fo.  3,  illus- 
trating Luke  vii,  36,  &c.,  contains  the  date  1500.  The  verso  of  Fo.  23, 
giving  Luke  xviii,  9-17,  contains  in  the  right  hand  border  a  column 
with  the  legend:  TIME  TRIETH.,  and  the  date  1502.  The  initials 
W.  T.  occur  eight  times.  The  Gospels  supplied  are  the  following:

The  MS.  is  written  on  paper  with  the  water  mark  of 
an  open  hand  surmounted  by  a  stellar  flower;  this  mark, 
and  the  bull's  head  and  star,  are  said  not  to  have  been 
used  since  15 10.  The  character  is  Black  Letter,  but  the 
handwriting  appears  to  be  due  to  several  writers;  several 
hands  may  also  be  traced  in  the  ornamental  borders  and 
the  full  page  illustrations;  the  anachronisms  are  striking; 
on  f  18  Nicodemus,  in  the  costume  of  the  sixteenth  cen- 
tury, holds  a  rosary;  the  Pharisee  and  the  Publican,  f.  24, 
also  carry  rosaries,  and  on  the  same  page  two  saints 
appear  as  mural  ornaments  of  the  Temple;  on  the  verso 
of  f  4  St.  George  is  represented  in  the  act  of  killing 
the  Dragon  in  order  to  relieve  the  Virgin  Mary;  the 
border  of  f  7  depicts  an  angel  with  a  Maltese  cross 
over  his  head;  churches  with  spires  and  a  liberal  sup- 
ply of  crosses  in  strictly  oriental  scenes  are  of  constant 
occurrence. 

The  portrait  of  Henry  VII.,  identified  by  the  emble- 
matic union  of  the  two  roses  supporting  his  throne,  occurs 
twice  in  the  ornamented  borders. 


Iviii  PROLEGOMENA. 

Among  the  orthographical  characteristics  may  be 
named:  stode  a  farr,  thorowe,fownde,  aduouterers,  deuell^ 
a  broode  (abroad);  also  such  divisions  of  words  as:  di- 
scipleSy  th-cn,  m-en,  pray-yse,  zve-ddyng. 

Some  of  the  translations  must  have  been  made  from 
the  Greek,  but  it  is  incredible  that  Tyndale  who  in  1525 
rendered  avooQsv  a  newe  and  agayne,  should  have  trans- 
lated that  word  in  1500  or  1^02  from  above.  This  last 
rendering,  as  far  as  I  am  advised,  appeared  for  the  first 
time  in  the  version  of  Pagninus,  who  discards  the  old 
Vulgate  rendering,  renatus  fuerit  denuo,  and  gives,  natus 
fuerit  superne.  Similar  renderings  from  the  Greek  have 
been  noted  by  others.  Other  translations,  however,  seem 
to  have  been  made  from  the  Latin. 

Subjoined  is  a  specimen,  selected  solely  on  account  of 
its  brevity,  accompanied  by  the  Latin  from  the  edition 
of  Stephanus,  1528,  collated  with  the  text  of  Jenson's 
Biblia,  Venetiis,  1479,  in-folio.,  which  contains  only  two 
variations,  viz.,  v.  37  difcendentium  and  v.  40  quia  Ji  ta- 
cuerint.

Mr.  Offer's  Title  must  be  deemed  infelicitous,  for  i.  it 
is  not  certain  that  the  letters  W.  T.  denote  the  author; 
2.  it  cannot  be  proved  that  they  designate  William  Tyn- 
dale;  3.  it  may  be  demonstrated  that  portions,  perhaps 
the  greater  part  of  the  MS.,  are  translations  from  the 
Latin. 

The  Author  of  the  Historical  Account,  &c.,  prefixed  to 
the  first  edition  of  Bagster's  Hexapla  (p.  41,  n.,)  believed 
it  to  have  been  written  and  translated  by  the  Martyr; 
Anderson,  Annals,  &c.,  Vol.  II.,  App.,  iii.,  n.,  ridicules  the 
notion;  Professor  Westcott,  History  of  the  English  Bible, 
p.  25,  n.,  2d  edition,  declares  the  MS.  to  be  spurious. 


CHAPTER    III. 

THE    PENTATEUCH    OF    I53O. 

To  the  best  of  my  knowledge  only  one  perfect  copy 
has  been  discovered.  It  is  in  the  Grenville  Library  of 
the  British  Museum.  The  copy  in  the  Lenox  Library  is 
all  but  perfect,  the  only  parts  wanting  being,  Folios  XLIV. 


Ix  prolegomena; 

and  XLV.,  containing  Ex.  xxv.  37  to  xxvi.  14  and  two 
of  the  eleven  woodcuts  contained  in  the  volume,  which 
have  been  supplied  in  facstmtle  hyH.;  see  Bibliograph- 
ical Notice.  The  copy  in  the  Baptist  College,  Bristol, 
contains  Genesis  of  1534,  but  the  remaining  books  of 
the  Pentateuch  are  of  the  edition  of  1530.  A  copy, 
recently  discovered  and  given  to  the  Astor  Library, 
lacks  the  book  of  Genesis. 

The  Lenox  copy,  from  which  the  present  edition  is 
made,  is  a  i2mo  volume,  without  a  general  title.  A 
full  account  of  it  is  now  presented.

faulty.

Comparison  shows  that  with  the  sole  exception  of 
some  of  the  cuts  in  Tyndale's  Pentateuch  having  been 
either  sHghtly  trimmed  or  enlarged  at  the  sides,  they 
are  identical  with  those  in  Vorsterman's  Bible,  in-folio. 

The  same  cuts  however  had  been  used  in  Letter's 
edition  of  Luther's  Translation  of  the  Pentateuch  in  lar- 
ger size,  viz.,  gzVz.  x  SfzV/.  circa,  and  since  that  folio  was 
printed  in  1523,  Vorsterman  either  had  them  reduced 
for  his  Bible,  or  the  cuts  were  prepared  and  sold  in  dif- 
ferent sizes  by  the  engraver  in  wood  who  made  them. 
They  are  identical  in  all  respects  except  in  figure  4,  where 
Letter's  illustration  gives  some  houses  on  the  right  side 
of  the  cut  which  in  the  corresponding  cut  in  Vorster- 
man and  Tyndale  appear  on  the  left  side. 

2.   The  Present  Edition. 

In  the  preparation  of  my  Hand  Book  of  the  English 
Versions  the  necessity  of  consulting  the  original  copy  of 
Tyndale's  Pentateuch  was  often  very  pressing,  and  although 
sundry  extracts  contained  in  that  volume  were  courteously 
supplied,  the  want  of  accurate  information  on  the  subject 
in  print,  and  the  singular  excellence  of  Tyndale's  transla- 
tion appeared  to  me  to  call  imperatively  for  a  reprint  of 
the  work  as  it  came  from  his  hands.  The  book  of  Genesis 
was  revised  by  Tyndale  in  1534,  but  copies  of  that  edi- 
tion appear  to  be  even  more  rare  than  those  of  1530. 
Matthew's  Bible,  published  in  1537,  contains  the  text 
of  Tyndale's  Pentateuch  of  1530  with  numerous  varia- 
tions. There  is  also  a  London  edition  by  Ihon  Day, 
printed  in  1551,  exceedingly  scarce,  containing  the  en- 
tire Pentateuch  in  a  text  of  which  an  example  will  be 
presented  on  a  subsequent  page.  The  prologues,  finally, 
to  the  different  books  of  Tyndale's  Pentateuch  and  cer- 
tain Tables  were  printed  in  Daye's  folio  edition  of  Tyn- 


THE   PENTATEUCH   OF    1530.  Ixv 

dale's  Works  published  in  1573.  A  reprint  of  the  last, 
adapted  to  the  modern  spelling,  has  been  issued  by  the 
Parker  Society.  This  completes  the  list  and  proves  that 
an  exact  reproduction  of  the  text  of  the  edition  of  1530 
has  never  been  printed.  It  seemed  to  me  a  burning  shame 
that  one  of  the  noblest  monuments  of  English  Literature 
should  continue  to  lie  in  undeserved  oblivion,  especially 
because  its  author,  who  had  consecrated  his  life  to  the 
work  of  evangelizing  the  world  by  the  translation  of  the 
Scriptures  into  the  vernacular,  had  earned  for  it,  the  Mar- 
tyr's crown. ^ 

Tyndale's  Pentateuch  is  the  first  English  translation 
of  the  Hebrew  original,  and  on  that  account,  if  on  no 
other,  deserves  to  be  made  accessible  not  only  to  schol- 
ars, but  to  every  lover  of  the  English  Bible.  His  trans- 
lation was  intended  for  the  people,  and  the  Martyr's 
design  has  been  attempted  to  be  carried  out  in  the 
present  issue,  which  gives  to  the  people  not  only  every- 
thing he  translated  in  the  original  volume,  but  presents 
it  also  in  the  very  form  in  which  he  wrote  it.  To  the 
scholar  this  minute  accuracy  will  be  peculiarly  valuable, 
and  he  moreover  may  reap  a  rich  harvest  of  instruction 
from  the  notes  which  owe  their  origin  to  the  wide-spread 
slander  that  Tyndale  translated  from  the  Latin  and  the 
German  versions.  This  calumny  thoughtlessly  repeated 
by  numerous  writers  is  disproved  on  every  page  of  this 
volume.  I  deem  it  unnecessary  to  name  here  any  of  the 
authors  in  question,  and  to  transcribe  their  statements. 

1  There  is  reason  for  believing  that  the  marginal  notes  in  the  Pentateuch 
were  used,  with  other  of  his  printed  opinions,  as  evidence  of  his  heresy.  An 
instance  may  be  seen  in  the  marginal  note  on  Deuter.  I,  43,  which  reads 

In  the  edition  of  1^3  o :  In  Matthew's  Bible,  IS3  7  ■' 

"  Here  thou  feift  the  verey  image  of  the  "  Here  thou  feyft  the  vereye  Image  of  vs 

papiftes.       For  ihei  like   wife   where   Gods        that  fyue  i  this  niqft perlou/e  tyme,  for  eiten 

worde  is,  there  they  beleue  not  ad  where  it        we  lykewyfe,  where  goddes  worde  is,  here 

is  not  there  they  be  bold."  beleue  we  not:  and  where  it  is  not,  there  be 

we  bolde." 

In  1536  Tyndale  was  martyred;  the  memory  of  the  scene  at  Vilvorde  was 
indelibly  stamped  on  the  mind  of  John  Rogers  and  doubtless  prompted  the 
change  in  the  note,  which  contains  a  chapter  of  history. 


Ixvi  PROLEGOMENA. 

As  a  matter  of  fact  Tyndale's  version  of  the  Penta- 
teuch, as  it  came  from  his  hand,  is  known  only  to  an 
infinitesimally  small  fraction  of  the  English  speaking 
nations  of  the  earth,  and  its  text,  identified  as  Tyndale's, 
except  in  a  few  isolated  passages,  not  known  at  all; 
indeed,  as  no  actual  critical  collation  of  this  Pentateuch 
has  ever  been  published,^  we  cannot  even  tell  how  far  and 
how  truly  the  actual  text  of  Tyndale  has  been  trans- 
mitted. This  is  the  more  remarkable  on  account  of  its 
indisputably  great  critical  value  in  fixing  the  character 
of  the  first  English  text  of  the  Pentateuch  in  the  an- 
cestral line  of  the  Common  Version,  a  point  of  con- 
siderable importance  just  now  in  view  of  the  general 
principles  to  be  followed  by  the  Companies  for  the  Re- 
vision of  the  Authorized  Version,  the  first  two  of  which 
read  as  follows: 

*'  I.  To  introduce  as  few  alterations  as  possible  into 
the  text  of  the  Authorized  Version  consistently  with 
faithfulness. 

"  2.  To  limit  as  far  as  possible  the  expression  of  such 
alterations  to  the  language  of  the  Authorized  and  earlier 
English  versions." 

This,  as  far  as  the  Pentateuch  is  concerned,  must 
apply  pre-eminently  to  Tyndale's  version  as  the  only 
English  version,  which,  without  leaning  on  any  other 
that  had  gone  before,  was  made  directly  from  the  orig- 
inal, and,  changes  in  the  spelling  and  occasionally  in 
language  and  expression  excepted,  has  been  substantially 
preserved  in  the  Authorized  Version. 

The  reasons  which  have  moved  me  to  make  the  pres- 
ent issue  are  these: 

It  is  designed,  to  be  a  grateful  tribute  to  the  mem- 
ory of  the  martyr-translator;  to  make  this  noble  ver- 
sion, which  as  a  first  translation  is  not  excelled  by  any 
other  with  which  I  am  acquainted,  generally  acces- 
sible to  Bible  readers;  to  fix  its  text  by  actual  colla- 
tion with  different  editions,  to  establish  its  relation  to 

1  There  is  a  MS.  collation  of  the  Pentateuch  with  Taverner's  edition  of 
1539,  which  I  have  not  seen. 


THE  PENTATEUCH  OF    1530.  Ixvii 

the  Latin  and  German  Versions;  to  furnish  a  contem- 
porary Commentary  in  the  Notes  of  Luther  and  Rogers, 
and  to  enrich  the  Philology  of  the  Language  with  a  copi- 
ous vocabulary. 

3.  Form  and  Size  of  this  Edition. 

Reference  to  the  Bibliographical  Notice  and  to  the 
specimen  pages  presented  in  this  volume  will  show  that 
the  original  copy  contains  378  ff.,  or  756  pages  of  rather 
small  dimensions,  viz.,  5-^  in.  x  2^in.  circa,  the  full  page  rang- 
ing from  29  to  33  lines,  and  that  the  books  of  Genesis  and 
Numbers  are  printed  in  Black  Letter  and  the  remaining 
three  books  in  Latin  Letter.  The  first  intention  of  repro- 
ducing the  Original  page  for  page,  and  line  for  line,  in  the 
same  type,  had  to  be  abandoned  as  incompatible  with  the 
ends  to  be  served  by  the  present  issue.  The  matter  con- 
tained in  the  notes  and  margins  may  be  approximately  esti- 
mated at  about  one-third  of  the  contents  of  the  text,  which 
with  the  introductory  matter  would  have  made  a  very  thick 
and  unhandy  duodecimo,  even  if  the  type  used  had  been 
correspondingly  small.  The  reproduction  of  the  same 
type,  would  have  necessitated  the  casting  of  two  distinct 
founts  of  letter,  for  which,  in  America  at  least,  the  printer 
would  have  had  no  other  use.  Tyndale  himself  printed 
his  Genesis  of  1534  in  Latin  Letter,  and  this  fact,  as  well 
as  the  further  consideration  that  the  reading  of  Black 
Letter  with  various  contractions  would  have  interfered 
with  the  ready  use  of  the  volume  by  a  large  number  of 
readers,  suggested  the  propriety  of  adopting  a  Letter 
familiar  to  all  and  capable  of  presenting  all  the  peculiar- 
ities of  the  edition;  the  edition  of  1534,  that  of  1551, 
Matthew's  Bible  of  1537,  Daye's  folio  of  1573  and  the 
Parker  Society's  reprint  of  the  Prologues,  moreover,  do 
not  conform  to  the  page  for  page  and  line  for  line 
plan.  On  these  grounds  an  octavo  page  has  been  se- 
lected as  the  most  convenient  size  for  the  purposes 
to  be  served  by  this  edition,  which  carefully  marks  the 
beginning  of  the  recto   and  verso   of  every  folio,  and 


Ixviii  PROLEGOMENA. 

aims  to  adhere  with  diplomatic  fidelity  to  every,  even 
the  minutest,  detail  of  the  original  copy.  The  omission 
of  the  strictly  facsimile  plan  has  also  had  the  additional 
advantage  of  enabling  me  to  correct  palpable  misprints, 
which  in  every  instance  have  been  removed  by  analogy 
drawn  from  Tyndale's  own  page,  or,  where  that  failed, 
by  reference  to  Matthew's  Bible.  An  accurate  list  of 
these  changes  is  furnished  at  the  end  of  the  Prolegomena; 
in  all  doubtful  cases  the  text  is  given  unchanged,  but 
every  case,  (broken,  defaced,  or  blurred  letters  excepted) 
has  been  carefully  noted.  In  the  edition  of  1530  different 
numerals  have  been  employed;  to  avoid  confusion  and 
inconsistency  only  one  kind  of  numerals  has  been  used 
in  this  edition.  It  is  necessary  to  add  that  the  run- 
ning head  lines  in  Black  Letter  are  not  in  the  edition 
of  1530,  which  gives  only  the  folio  and  chapter;  that 
edition,  and  all  the  other  editions  used  in  the  preparation 
of  this  volume,  are  without  verse-division,  which  for 
convenience  of  reference  had  to  be  adopted  and  con- 
formed to  that  observed  in  the  Authorized  Version. 

This  feature  of  course  increases  the  value,  and  facili- 
tates the  use  of  this  book  without  in  any  way  interfering 
with  the  integrity  of  Tyndale's  text,  which  stands  exactly 
as  in  the  edition  of  1530.  For  the  same  reason  the  Chap- 
ter Summaries  from  Matthew's  Bible,  marked  M.  C.  S. 
have  not  been  placed  before  the  chapter,  but  in  the 
Margin,  which  has  also  been  used  for  the  explanation 
of  a  few  archaic  terms.  The  Various  Readings,  and 
parallel  places  in  other  Versions,  are  given  in  the  lower 
margin.  The  collation  with  Genesis  1534,  being  an  in- 
dependent work,  chiefly  due  to  the  careful  scholarship 
of  Dr.  Culross,  who  has  compared  the  text  of  this  edition 
with  that  of  the  copy  in  the  Museum  of  the  Baptist 
College  at  Bristol,  is  given  in  a  separate  section;  the 
collation  of  the  Prologues  of  1530  with  the  Prologues 
in  Daye's  folio  of  1573,  due  (in  Genesis  and  Exodus)  to 
Dr.  Culross,  appears  immediately  after  it,  while  a  list  of 
marginal  notes  in  the  same  volume  gives  an  analysis 
of  that  interesting  part  of  Tyndale's  Pentateuch. 


THE   PENTATEUCH   OF    153O.  Ixi:^ 

4.  Means  adopted  for  Securing  an  accurate  Text. 

The  whole  of  Tyndale's  Pentateuch,  the  Prologues  to 
Genesis  and  Exodus  excepted,  has  been  transcribed  by 
me  from  the  copy  in  the  Lenox  Library.  The  transcript 
thus  secured,  upon  careful  revision,  and  the  original  copy 
by  its  side,  was  then  compared  with  the  text  of  Matthew's 
Bible,  and  the  variant  readings  and  renderings  duly  re- 
corded. In  this  difficult  work  I  had  the  benefit  of  the 
assistance  of  Dr.  S.  Austin  Allibone,  whose  quick  and 
experienced  perception  enabled  me  to  note  the  differ- 
ences as  they  occurred.  He  either  read  to  me,  or  I  read 
to  him,  the  entire  Pentateuch  in  Matthew's  version.  Then 
I  compared  Tyndale's  text,  first,  with  that  of  the  Latin 
Bible,  and  afterwards  with  Luther's  first  edition  of  the 
Pentateuch.  The  Manuscript  then  was  sent  to  the  printer, 
and  at  my  express  request  not  returned.  The  first  proofs 
were  twice  read  at  the  printer's  by  the  MS.  and  twice  in 
succession  compared  with  the  original  printed  copy.  Here 
also  Dr.  Allibone  afforded  me  valuable  aid.  Second  or  re- 
vised proofs  were  then  procured,  and  again  read  very  care- 
fully by  the  original.  Third  or  plate  proofs  followed,  of 
which  one  copy  was  sent  to  Dr.  Culross,  and  another,  re- 
tained by  me,  was  again  compared  with  the  original.  In  the 
book  of  Genesis  all  the  variant  readings  in  the  edition  of 
1534  were  marked  by  Dr.  Culross  on  the  plate  proofs,  and 
in  this  way  was  obtained  the  valuable  and  interesting 
collation  at  the  end  of  the  Prolegomena.  A  number  of 
test  passages  in  the  remaining  four  books  transcribed  by 
Dr.  Culross  from  the  Bristol  copy,  and  another  set  copied 
by  me  from  the  Lenox  copy,  were  compared  by  us  with 
the  respective  copies,  and  their  minute  agreement  in  text, 
even  to  misprints  and  inaccuracies,  led  to  the  discovery 
that  both  copies  were  made  from  the  same  forms  of  the 
edition  of  1530.  The  uncorrected  plate  proofs  were  then 
compared  by  Dr.  Culross  with  the  text  of  the  Bristol 
copy,  and  by  me  with  that  of  the  Lenox  copy;  at  this 
stage,  a  clean  set  of  plate  proofs  was  also  compared  with 
the  original  by  Dr.  Allibone;  then  I  attended  to  the  final

comparisons  of  corrections  made  by  my  kind  friends  and 
myself,  with  the  result,  that  every  correction  noted  and 
verified,  was  made  by  me  in  the  proofs,  and  the  constant 
agreement  of  our  corrections,  frequently  extending  to 
such  minute  points  as  the  appearance  of  a  faulty  letter, 
the  use  or  non-use  of  a  mark  of  punctuation,  bears  testi- 
mony to  the  rare  and  scrupulous  fidelity  with  which  Drs. 
Culross  and  Allibone  have  performed  their  labor  of  love. 
Occasional  differences,  chiefly  of  this  or  that  little  matter 
omitted  by  one  of  the  correctors,  I  have  duly  noted,  and 
in  every  instance,  corrected  by  the  Lenox  copy.  Then 
the  plates  were  corrected  and  the  first  plate  proofs  ac- 
companied by  clean  proofs  were  again  examined,  and, 
upon  evidence  that  all  the  corrections  had  been  made, 
the  order  to  print  was  given.  The  text,  thus  obtained, 
is  that  furnished  in  this  volume.  It  is  proper  to  add 
that  all  the  notes  also  have  been  repeatedly  compared 
with  the  originals  from  which  they  are  taken. 

5.  Helps  used  by  Tyndale. 

On  this  point  it  is  difficult,  if  not  impossible,  to  speak 
with  any  degree  of  certainty.  The  material  to  be  had, 
was  not  by  any  means  so  scant  as  is  generally  thought, 
but  in  the  absence  of  all  data,  except  those  contained 
in  Tyndale's  letter  written  in  prison,  (see  page  li.)  and 
those  derived  from  the  study  of  his  text,  the  subject 
cannot  be  discussed  in  detail.

To  these  should  still  be  added  Vorsterman's  Dutch 
Bible  in-folio  (See  Title,  p.  Ixiii.),  which  though  made 
from  the  Vulgate,  contains  numerous  references  to  the 
Hebrew;  it  was  doubtless  known  to  Tyndale,  but  as  the 
volume  was  sent  to  me  after  the  present  edition  was  in 


Ixxii  PROLEGOMENA. 

type,  I  have  not  been  able  to  use  it  in  the  preparation 
of  my  notes;  it  is  not  improbable  that  Tyndale  used  it 
for  reference. 

Besides  the  Greek  Text  of  the  Old  Testament  con- 
tained in  the  Complutensian  Polyglot,  the  Aldine  edition 
ot  1 518  {Sacrcs  Scriptures  Veteris  Novceqiie  omnia,  Vene- 
tiis,  1518,  in-folio),  and  the  Strassburg  edition  of  1526 
{Divines  Scriptures  Veteris  Novceque  omnia,  Argentorati, 
apud  Wolphium  Cephalseum,  1526,  4vv.  in-8)  were  also 
available  to  Tyndale. 

Most,  perhaps  all,  the  works  here  enumerated  might 
have  been  procured  at  Antwerp,  Hamburg,  and  Witten- 
berg. 

Of  other  versions  we  have  to  name  first,  the  Vulgate, 
which  must  have  been  as  familiar  to  Tyndale  as  the 
Authorized  Version  is  to  every  English  divine  of  the 
present  century,  secondly,  the  Wiclifite  Versions  and 
lastly,  Luther's  translation. 

A  brief  account  of  these  versions  is  now  in  place. 
Beginning  with  the  Vulgate,  it  may  be  accepted  as  a 
fact,  that  the  Apostles  and  first  Christian  missionaries 
used  the  Greek  version  in  planting  the  Church.  Greek 
was  the  language  of  civilization,  understood  especially 
by  people  of  higher  culture.  At  Rome  and  throughout 
Italy,  however,  the  masses  of  the  people  clung  tena- 
ciously to  the  Old  Latin.  In  order  to  reach  them,  the 
necessity  of  a  Latin  version  was  universally  felt,  and  oral 
translations  of  the  Scriptures  were  speedily  followed  by 
written  ones,  the  oldest  of  which  were  made  from  the 
Greek.  They  multiplied  so  rapidly  that  in  the  fourth 
century  it  was  affirmed  by  the  highest  authorities  that 
there  were  almost  as  many  versions  as  copies.  This  was 
a  great  and  crying  evil,  for  not  only  were  those  versions 
very  faulty  and  corrupt,  but  they  presented  a  text  which 
differed  in  almost  every  version.  To  remedy  the  evil 
Jerome  undertook  a  revision,  which  proved  generally 
acceptable,  and  speedily  entered  into  almost  universal 
circulation.  But  that  remarkable  scholar  was  not  satis- 
fied with  his  revision,  and  engaged  upon  the  Herculean 


THE  PENTATEUCH  OF    1530.  IxxHi 

enterprise  of  translating  the  Scriptures  from  the  original 
Hebrew  into  Latin. 

This  new  Version  encountered  bitter  opposition,  and 
could  not  displace  for  centuries  the  old  version  made  from 
the  Greek,  or,  more  correctly,  it  never  displaced  it  en- 
tirely, for  to  this  day  parts  of  the  Old  Latin  version  are 
embedded  in  the  official  version  of  the  Roman  Catholic 
Church  known  as  the  Vulgate.  In  course  of  time,  how- 
ever, the  unquestionable  superiority  of  Jerome's  version 
led  to  its  partial  adoption,  with  the  result,  that  it  was 
either  adapted  to  the  old  version  or  mixed  up  with  it,  and 
produced  an  uncertain  text,  which,  through  careless  tran- 
scribers or  ignorant  correctors  and  emendators,  had  be- 
come so  corrupt  as  to  necessitate  a  new  Revision  by 
Alcuin.  This  Alcuinian  recension,  patronized  by  Charle- 
magne, was  the  best  text  in  use  during  the  Middle  Ages,  and 
held  its  ground  until  the  invention  of  printing,  and  the 
time  of  the  Reformation.  Guttenberg's  Bible,  the  first 
Bible  and  first  book  printed  with  movable  type,  presents 
that  text  which,  with  but  few  exceptions,  has  been  copied 
in  subsequent  editions  of  the  Latin  Bible.  From  that 
text  were  made  numerous  versions  into  the  vernacular 
tongues  of  Europe  before  the  Reformation. 

A  copy  of  the  Bible  containing  the  text  of  the  Al- 
cuinian Recension  was  used  by  Tyndale.  The  edition 
used  in  the  preparation  of  the  Notes  in  this  Volume  is 
that  of  Stephanus,  published  in  1528.  Its  text,  like  that 
of  most  of  the  Latin  Bibles  printed  before  that  date,  may 
be  said  to  be  identical  with  that  used  by  Tyndale  and 
Luther,  but  it  contains  also  references  to  MSS.  and  to 
the  Hebrew.  It  is  printed  with  great  accuracy  in  beauti- 
ful type.    A  brief  description  of  the  volume  may  be  useful:

signatures  are  in  eights,  the  first  four  folios  marked,  the 
last  four  unmarked,  and  a  full  page  numbers  61  lines. 

The  subjoined  readings  of  places  in  the  Pentateuch, 
taken  from  this  volume  with  the  note  introducing  them, 
are  very  interesting  since  not  a  few  of  them  were  adopted 
by  the  Sixtine-Clementine  editors  of  the  Vulgate.

The  Wiclifite  Versio?ts,  of  course,  were  made  from 
Manuscript  copies  of  the  Latin  Bible/  and  circulated  in 
Tyndale's  time  in  MS,  I  fully  concur  in  the  statement 
of  the  learned  editors  of  the  superb  edition  of  Wiclif's 
Bible''  that  "the  versions  of  Wycliffe  and  his  followers 
....  contributed  largely  to  the  religious  knowledge  which 
prevailed  at  the  commencement  of  the  Reformation;  and 
at  that  period  they  supplied  an  example  and  a  model  to 
those  excellent  men,  who  in  like  manner  devoted  them- 
selves at  the  hazard  of  their  lives  to  the  translation  of 
Scripture,  and  to  its  publication  among  the  people  of 
the  land  "  (Preface,  p.  xxxiv.).  The  comparison  of  Ex- 
odus XX.  in  Purvey's  revision,  Forshall  and  Madden's 
edition,  with  the  text  of  Tyndale  appears  to  justify  this 
statement,  the  ring  and  language  of  that  ancient  version 
resound  distinctly  in  Tyndale's  translation.

While  the  Wiclifite  versions  were  the  only  English 
translations  and  circulated  only  in  manuscript,  Germany 
as  early  as  1522  could  point  to  not  less  than  fourteen 
printed  editions  of  the  Scriptures  in  High  German  and 
.three  in  Low  German:  they  were  all  made  from  the  La- 
tin, but  too  literal  to  be  intelligible.^ 

The  first  vernacular  version  made  direct  from  the  orig- 
inal is  Luther's.  It  is  in  every  respect  remarkable,  but 
in  none  more  than  in  its  lucidity,  terseness,  and  strength. 
Made  for  the  people,  it  attained  from  the  start  a  popu- 
larity, which  continues  to  this  hour,  and  although  sub- 
jected to  successive  revisions,  the  changes  introduced 
into  it,  are  mainly  the  substitution  of  modern  for  ar- 
chaic terms,  the  assimilation  of  the  verbs  to  modern 
flexions,  and  the  introduction  of  the  prevailing  system 
of  spelling.  The  changes  in  the  rendering  are  com- 
paratively few,  and  only  such  as  the  superior  knowledge 
of  the  ancient  languages  and  the  discovery  of  impor- 
tant manuscripts  of  the  original  Scriptures  have  made 
indispensable. 

The  precise  relation  of  Luther's  Version  to  the  Older 
German  versions  may  be  seen  in  the  following  example,

Examination  yields  the  following  results: 


EXODUS  XX. 

Luther  agrees  with  Old  German  Version:  vv.  i,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7, 
8,  9,  10,  II,  12,  13,  14,  15,  16,  17,  18,  19,  20,  21,  22,  23,  24,  25,  26. 

Differs  from  Old  German  Version:  in  renderings  other  than  ar- 
chaic and  linguistic  forms,  v.  5.  diene,  eyfferer,  miffethat  6  viel  thau-

Of  these,  the  following  agree  with  the  Vulgate:  5  coles,  zelotes, 
iniquitatem  7  in  vanum,  infontem  8  fabbati  iq  fabbatum  1 1  fabbati

10  inwendig  deiner  tor  12  dir  gibt  20  bewert  21  genacht  25  dem

Supplemental  renderings:  6  viel;  a  mistaken  rendering:  25  meffer 
drauff  ferezt 

This  analysis  shows  that  the  old  German  was  the 
basis  of  Luther's  version,  that  the  variations  not  noted 
were  either  linguistic  or  required  by  the  change  the  lan- 
guage had  undergone,  that  of  those  noted,  eighteen  were 
due  to  the  Latin,  seven  apparently  original  renderings 
and  not  less  than  seven  very  doubtful  improvements.

preparation  of  this  volume  is  the  following:

the  subscription:

meine  hand  gangen  sind,  den  des  falfchen  druckes 

vnd  bucher  verderbens,  vleyffigen  fich  ytzt  viel 

Gedruckt  zu  Wittemberg. 

The  date  1523  has  been  added  in  modern  hand- 
writing. 

The  selection  of  that  edition,  and  the  retention  of  its 
archaic  language,  were  necessary  in  order  to  present  the 
material  precisely  as  Tyndale  found  it.  The  original 
renderings  illustrate  the  scholarship  of  Luther,  as  com- 
pared with  Tyndale's,  and  mark  the  changes  introduced 
in  subsequent  editions  of  the  German  version;  their  lin- 
guistic character  also  is  highly  instructive  for  it  sheds 
light  not  only  on  the  pronunciation  of  German  in  the 
second  decade  of  the  sixteenth  century,  but  also  on 
the  remarkable  changes  in  the  spelling  and  flexions  of 
the  language.  On  almost  every  page  of  this  volume 
may  be  found  examples  of  words  and  flexions  ban- 
ished from  the  written  language  but  still  current  in 
the  familiar,  and  especially,  the  dialectic  speech  of 
Germany. 

I  call  attention  to  the  following  words  in  the  text 
of  Eggesteyn:  5  ambecht,  bete  an,  pray  to;  vngangkeit,

The  notes  are  taken  from  Matthew's  Bible,  the  Vul- 
gate, and  Luther's  version.  A  brief  description  of  the 
first  is  now  in  place.

The  relation  of  these  works  to  Tyndale's  version 
suggested  the  arrangement,  that  the  Chapter  Summaries, 
supplied  by  Rogers,  should  appear  in  the  margin  at  the 
beginning  of  every  chapter,  and  the  variant  readings  of 
his  text  immediately  under  the  text  of  Tyndale.  The 
Notes  from  the  Vulgate,  the  older  of  the  versions  used, 
come  next,  and  are  followed  by  those  from  Luther's 
translation. 

The  marginal  notes  of  Matthew  and  Luther  conclude 
the  Apparatus. 

Matthew's  Bible  being  the  first  English  Bible  with 
Tyndale's  translation,  it  seemed  a  fitting  tribute  to  the 
memory  of  John  Rogers  and  a  recognition  of  his  valua- 
ble labors  and  near  relations  to  Tyndale,  to  embody  his 
additions  and  notes  in  the  present  edition,  which,  in  this 
respect,  enables  the  reader  to  construct  the  whole  text 
as  to  various  readings,  but  of  course  not  as  to  the  variant 
orthography  of  the  Pentateuch,  as  it  stands  in  Matthew's 
Bible,  copies  of  which  are  but  rarely  met  with. 

7.  Examples  of  the  Notes. 

The  first  and  chief  design  of  these  notes  being  to 
demonstrate  the  independence  of  Tyndale's  translation, 
I  have  compared  the  whole  of  Tyndale's  text  with  the 
whole  of  the  Latin  and  German  versions,  and  confined  the 


THE  PENTATEUCH   OF    1530.  Ixxxvii 

selection  to  passages  which  upon  comparison  with  the  He- 
brew supply  that  proof.  The  parallels  not  less  than  the 
variants  furnish  valuable  material  for  the  study  of  the 
Pentateuch;  they  illustrate  the  merits  and  demerits  of 
the  collated  versions  and  establish  the  indisputable  fact 
that  the  first  English  version  conforms  more  to  the 
original  than  the  Latin  and  German  translations.  The 
scholarly  tact  and  judgment  of  Tyndale  will  be  recog- 
nized in  numerous  passages,  especially  in  those  where 
Luther  allowed  himself  to  be  influenced  by  the  Vulgate. 
The  notes,  though  numerous,  are  only  specimens  and 
may  be  almost  indefinitely  increased.  The  marginal  notes 
of  Luther  and  Rogers  may  be  regarded  as  a  contem- 
porary commentary  on  difficult  passages  designed  to 
supplement  the  translation  and  to  make  the  people 
understand  the  Scriptures;  they  afford  a  lively  view 
of  the  spirit  of  the  age  and  a  true  picture  of  the 
scholarship  of  the  translators.  A  few  illustrations  are 
now  in  order. 

Instances  of  Places  in  the  Vulgate  containing  readings  not  found 
in  the  Hebrew: 

Gen.  iv.  8  Egrediamur  foras 

Ex.  ii.  22  Alterum  vero  peperit:  quern  vocauit  Eliezer,  dicens,

The  last  example  affords  a  curious  illustration  of  the 
influence  of  one  version  on  others.  Tyndale's  rendering 
conforms  literally  to  the  Hebrew  but  the  figure  of  light- 
ning applied  to  a  sharpened  and  highly  polished  sword  is 
rather  German  than  English;  Luther's  rendering  is  idio- 
matic but  suggested  by  the  Latin  and  an  improvement: 
the  Latin  in  its  turn  is  a  literal  translation  of  the  LXX. 
and  si  appears  to  us  a  truer  rendering  of  the  Hebrew  int 
than  the  Greek  hoti,  while  the  Chaldee  version  has  the 
remarkable  amplification:  si  in  duplum  pluf quant  fulgur 
apparet  a  fummitate  celi  &  vfque  ad  fummitatem  eius  re- 
uelabitur  gladius  ineus. 


Instances  of  renderings  by  Tyndale,  in  close  agreement  with  the 
Hebrew  where  the  LXX.,  the  Vulgate  and  Luther  depart  from  it: 
Num.  xxii.  34  stands  in  the  LXX.:  and  now  if  it  displease  thee, 


THE  PENTATEUCH  OF    1530.  Ixxxix 

a  rendering  literally  reproduced  byy?  displicet  tibi  (Vulg.)  and/(7 
dyrs  nicht  gefdllt  (Luther);  all  these  versions  fail  to  bring  out  the 
force  of  the  Hebrew  phrase  evil  in  the  sight  or  eyes  of  any  one,  i.  e., 
displeasing  to  him;  Tyndale  with  excellent  judgment  retained  dis- 
please but  added  the  Hebraism  thyne  eyes. 

The  following  is  a  longer  example  presented  in  English: 

Gen.  XXII.  19. 

Hebr.      And     Abraham   returned   to   his  young  men,*  and   they 
LXX.      And     Abraham   returned   to   his   young   men,*  and 
Vulg.  Abraham   returned   to   his  young   men,* 

Luther  Thus    Abraham   returned   to    his   young   men,*   and   they 
Tynd.      So  turned  Abraham  agayne  vnto  his  yonge  men,      and    they 
Hebr.      arose,    and  they  went  together  unto  Beer  Shava, 
LXX.      rising  they  went  together  unto  the  well  of  the  oath, 

Vulg.  and  they  went  to  Berfabee  together, 

Luther   arose,    and  went  together       to  Bersaba, 

Tynd.      rofe  vp  and  went  to  gether     to  Berfeba. 

Hebr.      and   Abraham  dwelt  at  {or  in)  Beer  Shava. 
LXX.      and   Abraham  dwelt  at  the  well  of  the  oath. 

Vulg.      and  dwelt  there. 

Luther  and         he         dwelt  there. 

Tynd.      And  Abraham  dwelt  at  Berfeba. 

Comparing  these  renderings  with  the  Hebrew,  we  find  that  the 
LXX.  are  very  close  except  in  the  proper  name,  whose  translation 
into  common  speech  obliterates  the  geography;  the  Vulgate  restores 
the  geography,  but  fails  to  translate  and  they  arose  and  condenses 
And  Abraham  dwelt  at  Beer  Shava  into  and  dwelt  there;  Luther 
restores  and  they  arose,  omitted  by  the  Vulgate,  but  forsakes  the 
Hebrew  for  the  Vulgate  in  the  last  clause;  Tyndale  adheres  through- 
out to  the  Hebrew,  and  impartial  critics  will  concede  that  his  version 
is  superior  to  the  others. 

The  marginal  notes  of  Tyndale  in  the  present  issue  are 
those  of  the  edition  of  1530  and  differ  materially  from 
those  in  the  corrected  edition  of  Genesis  of  1534  as  well  as 
those  of  Rogers  of  1537.  All  the  notes  of  Genesis  1534 
are  given  in  the  collation  in  No.  8  of  this  Chapter;  the 
marginal  notes  of  Luther  (1.  jH,  N.)  and  Rogers  (iH.  jH.  N.) 
appear  in  the  lower  margin  of  this  edition. 

*  To  avoid  variants  I  have  rendered  naar,  pais,  puer,  and  knabe  as  above. 


XC  PROLEGOMENA. 

All  the  marginal  notes  of  the  edition  of  1530  except 
those  at  xxiiii,  35,  60  and  xxxii,  9  are  omitted  in  that  of 
1534;  with  these  exceptions  the  marginal  notes  of  1534 
are  new.  The  omitted  notes  are  strongly  anti-papal, 
viz..  Gen.  iv,  15;  ix,  5;  xlvii,  22,  Tyndale's  own  example 
in  Genesis  doubtless  led  Rogers  to  pursue  a  similar  course 
with  the  notes  in  the  other  books  of  the  Pentateuch; 
e.  g.,  the  note  (1530)  Ex.  xii,  26.  "The  lambe  was 
called  paffeouer  that  the  very  name  it  felf  fhuld  put  them 
in  reinembraunce  what  it  Jignified,for  the  signes  that  god 
ordined  ether  Jignified  the  benefits  done,  or  promyfes  to 
come,  and  were  not  domme  as  are  the  fignes  of  our  domme 
God  the  Pope^'  appears  in  Matthew's  Bible  (1537)  thus: 
"  The  lambe  was  called  Z^^- paffeouer:  that  the  very  name 
it  felfe  fhulde  kepe  in  memorye  zvhat  was  fignyfyed  therby, 
which  phrafe  &  maner  of  fpeakynge  the  fcripture  vfeth 
often,  callynge  the ,figne  by  the  name  of  the  thynge  that  it 
sygnyfieth,  as  Gen.  xvi,  b."  Again  the  note  to  Deut. 
xxiii,  18  (1540)  The  hyre  &c.  reads:  "The  pope  wil 
take  tribute  of  them  yet  and  biffhopes  and  abbotes  de- 
fire  no  better  tenauntes,"  stands  in  Matthew:  "There 
be  now  many  that  desyre  no  beter  rentes."  Some- 
times the  anti-papal  note  is  entirely  omitted,  or  makes 
room  for  another:  e.  g.,  Deut.  xix,  4  (1530):  "The 
popis  fentuariese  are  of  an  other  purpofe.  For  he  had 
lever  haue  the  frenfhep  of  the  euel,  then  to  faue 
them  that  are  good,"  disappears  in  Matthew,  which 
gives  in  its  place  "  Here  are  fhewed  .ii.  maner  of  man- 
quellyng,  &c.,  &c." 

The  notes  of  Luther  are  often  anti-papal,  but  not  as 
bitter  as  Tyndale's;  their  characteristic  is  his  allegorical 
and  typological  treatment  of  things,  persons,  events  and 
institutions  with  a  degree  of  dogmatism  illustrative  both 
of  the  man  and  of  the  spirit  of  the  time.  A  few  examples 
in  English  may  prove  interesting: 

Gen.  ix,  22.  "  Many  draw  from  this  story  an  argument  that  the 
vices  of  prelates  should  not  be  denounced,  although  Christ  and  all 
the  apostles  denounced  them.     But  see  that  thou  give  it  the  right 


THE   PENTATEUCH   OF    153O.  xd 

sense,  viz.  that  Noe  is  Christ  and  all  believers;  drunkenness  is  love 
and  faith  in  the  Holy  Spirit;  and  nudity  the  cross  and  sufferings 
before  the  world;  Ham,  to  practise  false  works,  and  hypocrites 
who  despise  Christ  and  His  people  and  delight  in  their  suffer- 
ings; Sem  and  lapheth  are  pious  christians  who  praise  and  honor 
such  sufferings." 

Gen.  XXX,  32:  "  This  story  signifies  that  the  Gospel  leads  the  souls 
of  men  away  from  the  law-mongers  and  work-saints,  wherein  they 
are  party-colored,  spotted  and  streaked,  that  is,  adorned  with  the 
manifold  gifts  of  the  Spirit,  Rom.  xii  and  I  Cor.  xii,  and  that  incom- 
petents only  remain  under  the  Law,  and  works,  for  Laban  signifies 
white  or  glittering  and  imports  hypocrites  even  in  the  fair  works  of 
the  divine  law." 

The  German  word  gleyffner,  hypocrite,  is  derived  from  gleiffen, 
to  glitter,  or  appear  white  or  resplendent. 

Gen.  xxxviii,  29:  "Perez  a  tearer,  Sorah  means  rising.  This  de-, 
notes  that  the  work-saints  affect  outwardly  to  thrust  themselves  for- 
ward and  aspire  to  be  the  first,  but  become  the  last,  on  which  account 
there  rises  a  great  tearing  among  the  people  of  God.  But  the  red 
thread  about  the  hand  shows  that  they  work  carnal  holiness  and 
persecute  the  true  saints." 

Ex.  xiii,  6:  "  Leaven  is  so  strongly  prohibited,  that  we  are  to 
preach  the  pure  Gospel  and  the  grace  of  God,  and  not  our  works 
and  the  law,  after  the  resurrection  of  Christ,  as  Paul  shows  i  Cor.  v. 
and  such  eating  is  nothing  else  than  faith  in  Christ." 

Num.  xxiii,  21:  The  trumpets  of  the  king,  b^c.  "That  is,  the 
bodily  trumpets  of  God  their  king,  who  ordered  them  to  be  made, 
because  they  were  invincible  in  battle.  But  it  means  the  Gospel  in 
Christendom," 

The  notes  of  Rogers  are  often  didactic,  but  not  as 
dogmatical  as  those  of  Luther;  they  are  frequently- 
thoughtful  and  suggestive;  e.  g., 

Lev.  xxi,  i:  "The  preaftes  be  warned  that  they  fhall  not  come 
at  the  commen  waylynges  &  lamentacyons  of  the  deed  left,  they  ftiuld 
therby  be  the  moare  vnapte  to  do  their  facryfyces  wherunto  they 
were  properly  appoynted,  and  left  they  ftiulde  by  theire  wepyng 
geue  an  occafion  to  deftroye  the  beleuve  of  the  refurreccion  of  the 
dead." 

Lev.  ii,  13:  "All  offringes  muft  be  falted  with  fait,  whiche  sig- 
nyfieth  that  all  our  good  workes  muft  be  directed  after  the  doc- 
tryne  of  the  Apoftles  &  prophetes,  for  then  fliall  they  be  accept- 
able in  the  fyghte  of  the  Lorde,  yf  they  fauer  of  the  fait  therof, 
&  elles  not." 


XCK  PROLEGOMENA. 

Occasionally,  the  notes  of  Rogers  have  been  taken 
from  Luther. 

Many  of  the  notes  of  Luther,  Tyndale  and  Rogers  are 
etymological  and  display  the  familiarity  of  the  transla- 
tors with  the  original  scriptures,  and  not  unfrequently 
the  embarrassments  of  Hebrew  lexicography  in  the  first 
third  of  the  sixteenth  century.  The  Tables,  &c.,  of 
Tyndale  are  very  interesting  on  this  account,  and  re- 
quire no  comment;  this  applies  also  to  the  etymo- 
logical notes  of  Rogers.  A  few  examples  from  Luther 
are  the  following. 

Gen.  xvii,  5:  "  Abram  means  high  father,  but  Abraham  denotes 
father  of  multitudes,  although  the  same  multitudes  are  indicated  in 
his  name  by  only  one  letter,  not  without  cause;"  xxi,  31:  "  Berfaba 
denotes  in  German,  oath-well,  or  earth-well,  but  perhaps  also  seven 
wells; "  xxiii,  2:  "  Hebron  is  Kiriath  Arba,  sayth  Mofes,  that  is,  four- 
town,  for  all  the  great  capitals  were  of  old  Arba,  that  is,  divided  into 
four  quarters,  as  Rome,  Jerufalem  and  Babylon,  also  Gen.  x."* 

Rogers  has  but  few  etymological  notes,  but  many  ex- 
planatory ones;  e.  g.y 

Gen.  XXXV,  18:  "Ben  lamin:  that  is  the  fonne  of  the  ryghthand. 
And  righthande  is  taken  for  good  fortune;"  xlix,  27:  Wolfe  is  here 
taken  in  a  good  fence,  and  fignifieth  a  feruent  preacher  of  godes 
worde  as  was  Paule  in  whome  this  text  is  verified;"  Ex.  xxv,  30: 
"  Shewbreed,  becaufe  it  was  alwaye  in  the  prefence  and  fyghte  of 
the  Lorde;"  Lev.  1.  9:  "This  fwete  odoure  is:  the  facryfyce  of  fayth 
&  of  pure  affeccyon  in  which  God  is  delited,  as  a  man  is  delited 
in  the  good  fauoure  of  meates,  as  it  is  fayd  of  Noe,  Gen.  viii,  d;  "  xxv, 
10:  "  lubelye,  of  this  Hebrewe  woorde  iobell,  which  in  Englyfhe  fygni- 
fieth  a  trumpet.  A  yere  of  fynguler  myrth  and  ioye  and  of  mocke 
reft,  wher  in  their  corne  and  all  their  frutes  cam  forth  wythout  fow- 
ynge,  tyllynge  or  any  other  laboures."  15  "  By  this  iubelye  is  fyg- 
nified  the  reftorynge  of  all  thynge  to  his  perfeccion,  which  fhal  be 
after  the  generall  iudgement  in  that  floryffhynge  worlde,  when  the 
chofen  fhal  be  admytted  in  to  lybertye  from  all  wretchednes,  pou- 
ertye,  anguyfhe  &  oppreffion,  when  all  fhalbe  fully  reftored  againe 
in  Christ,  that  thorow  the  fynne  of  the  fyrst  man  was  taken  awaye." 

*  Rogers  has  this  note  on  Gen.  xiii,  18:  "  Ebron  is  the  name  of  a  citie  where 
Adam,  Abraham  and  his  wyfe  with  Ifaac  &c.  were  buryed,  as  in  Gen.  xxiii,  d." 


THE  PENTATEUCH   OF    1530.  xciii 

A  few  explanatory  notes  of  archaic  and  obsolete 
words  have  been  given  in  the  margin,  but  a  much  fuller 
list  will  be  found  in  No.  12  of  this  Chapter. 


8.   The  Collations. 

Three  distinct  collations  have  been  made:  i.  one 
of  the  book  of  Genesis  of  the  edition  of  1530  with  that 
of  1534,  from  the  careful  notes,  in  the  margin  of  a  dupli- 
cate set  of  plate  proofs,  furnished  by  Dr.  Culross;  2.  an- 
other of  the  Prologues  of  the  edition  of  1530  (1534)  with 
the  text  in  Daye's  folio  of  1573,  in  those  to  Genesis 
and  Exodus,  also  by  Dr.  Culross;  3.  and  a  third  of  the 
text  of  the  Pentateuch  of  1530  with  that  of  the  Pen- 
tateuch in  Matthew's  Bible  of  1537.  The  last  is  given 
immediately  under  Tyndale's  text  marked  |K.  These 
collations  are  presented  in  parallel  columns  in  order  to 
mark  the  variations  and  to  illustrate  the  nature  of  the 
changes  introduced.  The  first  intention  of  extending 
the  variants  to  orthography  had  to  be  abandoned  as  im- 
practicable, for  they  are  so  numerous  that  their  production 
would  have  required  a  volume  fully  twice  as  large  as  this; 
besides  the  practice  of  Tyndale  and  Rogers  of  spelling 
the  same  word  in  constantly  differing  forms  and  the  vari- 
ations caused  by  the  arbitrary  use  of  contractions  seemed 
to  be  imperative  reasons  for  limiting  the  comparisons  to 
different  readings  and  renderings.  To  make  this  clear 
to  the  eye  is  the  design  of  the  subjoined  passage  show- 
ing all  the  variations  in  the  editions  of  1530,  1534  and 
1537-

THE   PENTATEUCH   OF    153O.  XCV 

In  these  five  verses  1534  differs  from  1530  in  29  places 
in  the  spelling  and  in  2  places  in  the  punctuation;  1537 
differs  from  1530  in  26  places  in  the  spelling  and  in  5 
places  in  the  punctuation.  These  numerous  differences 
are  mainly  due  to  the  indiscriminate  use  of  double  or  triple 
forms  of  the  same  word  by  the  same  writer  and  the  em- 
ployment of  contract  forms  introduced  on  purely  technical 
grounds  to  bring  a  given  number  of  words  or  letters  into  a 
line;  if  the  available  space  was  ample  the  printer  used  the 
full  form,  if  it  was  scant  he  chose  the  contract  form.  Of 
the  former  we  meet  with,  light,  lighte,  lyght,  lyghte;  hand, 
hande,  hand,  honde;  of  both,  and,  ad,  &";  hande,  honde, 
hade,  hode;  lambe,  Idbe;  heaven,  heauen,  heatie,  heve;  fyr- 
mament,  firmament,  fyrmamet,  firmamet;  kynde,  kinde, 
kyde,  hide.  The  contractions  are  mostly  simple  and  be- 
sides 1  for  the,  ^  for  that,  &'  for  and,  are  made  over  the 
vowel,  the  presence  of  a  long  accent  indicating  that  m. 
or  n  has  to  be  supplied,  e.  g.,  nothlge  stands  for  nothinge, 
CO.  for  can,  Add  for  Adam,  the  for  them;  unusual  forms 
such  as  who  me  for  whome,  f  fe  for  these  are  very  rare. 
The  contractions  in  German  are  complicated,  for  they  are 
introduced  over  vowels  and  consonants,  but  as  the  latter 
have  not  been  used  in  this  volume,  it  is  unnecessary  to 
discuss  the  matter. 

The  subjoined  photo-engravings  of  the  same  portion 
of  the  book  of  Genesis  in  the  editions  of  1530  and  1534, 
and  of  a  page  in  Latin  Letter  of  the  former,  afford  a 
true  picture  of  their  typographical  characteristics,  and 
may  have  the  effect  of  solving  the  question  where  they 
were  printed.  Antiquarian  students  in  Germany,  Bel- 
gium, and  Holland,  having  access  to  books  printed  at 
Wittenberg,  Hamburg  and  Antwerp,  between  1530  and 
1534,  will  doubtless  be  able  to  shed  light  on  this  in- 
teresting point.  ^%  They  illustrate  also,  but  only  fee- 
bly, the  difference  in  the  orthography  and  punctuation 
followed  in   the  editions  of  Genesis  of  1530  and    1534. 

4^*4^  I  shall  feel  grateful  for  the  communication  of  any  facts 
bearing  on  this  subject,  and  beg  that  correspondence  may  be 
forwarded  to  me  through  the  London  or  New  York  publishers.

The  transcripts  from  Matthew's  Bible  and  Daye's  edition 
of  Tyndale's  Pentateuch  of  1551*  giving  the  same  pas- 
sage complete  the  picture  of  orthographical  variety,  sug- 
gestive of  valuable  hints  on  the  phonetic  power  of  the 
language.

a  i2mo.

The  punctuation  calls  for  a  few  words  of  explanation. 
In  the  edition  of  1530  the  marks  used  are  the  comma, 
the  colon,  the  interrogation  point,  the  period,  and  occa- 
sionally, parentheses.  Very  often  no  mark  whatever  is 
used  where  modern  usage  requires  one,  especially  at  the 
end  of  a  sentence,  of  a  line,  a  paragraph  and  even  a 
chapter.  This  peculiarity  I  have  tried  to  preserve  in  all 
cases  where  the  sense  is  clear;  where  the  absence  of  a 
mark  appeared  to  me  to  obscure  the  sense,  a  mark  has 
been  supplied  on  the  authority  of  Matthew's  Bible  which 
is  generally  very  accurate  and  conforms  in  this  respect, 
as  well  as  in  the  matter  of  orthography,  much  more  to 
modern  usage.  The  punctuation  in  the  edition  of  1534 
is  more  consistent  than  in  that  of  1530.  In  very  few  in- 
stances the  punctuation  has  been  supplied  by  consequence. 
The  absence  of  hyphens  in  the  division  of  words  has  also 
been  preserved  wherever  it  could  be  done  without  obscur- 
ing the  sense.  The  treatment  of  numerals  introduced  in 
the  text  is  that  more  or  less  common  in  old  MSS.  and  in 
the  earliest  specimens  of  printed  books;  a  period  gener- 
ally precedes  and  follows  a  numeral,  e.  g.,  The  .V. 
chapter,  at  the  end  of  a  line  the  period  following  the 
numeral,  or  at  the  beginning  of  a  line  the  period  preced- 
ing the  numeral  are  omitted,  as  .V  (end  of  a  line)  and 
V.  (beginning  of  a  line);  the  j  instead  of  i  in  Roman  nu- 
merals has  not  been  reproduced  except  in  particular 
citations,  where  the  exact  appearance  of  a  title,  &c.,  &c., 
was  intended  to  be  given.  This  seemed  to  be  consistent 
with  the  general  typographical  arrangement  of  this  edi- 
tion which  does  not  give  the  letter  in  facsimile.  Letters 
belonging  to  Black  Letter  type  are  of  constant  occurrence 
in  the  body  of  words  printed  in  Latin  Letter,  and  occa- 
sionally the  comma  of  the  former  /  is  used  instead  of 
the  ordinary  comma;  these  features  also  have  not  been 
reproduced.

The  worfhipping  of  Idoles  or  Images  was  abhorred  of  god.  29 

Witchcraft,  forcery,  &c.  abhorred  of  God.  32 
Mofes  often  rehearfeth  the  benefites  of  almighty  God,  to 

moue  vnto  feare  hym,  and  to  loue  our  neighbour.  164      7 

God  will  haue  vs  to  be  merciful  to  oure  neighbore.  27 
All  the  ceremonies  of  the  olde  teflament,  were  but  preachers 

of  Chrift  that  was  to  come.  39 
The  beautie  of  the  tabernacle  was  to  keepe  the  lewes  fr5 

harkenyng  to  the  heathen.  165     12 

God  hath  two  Teftaments,  that  is,  the  olde  and  the  new.  27 
The  old  teftament  was  built  vpon  the  obferuatio  of  the 

law.  38 

The  law  could  not  geue  lyfe.  166     13 

The  law  is  the  vtterer  of  fmne.  18 

The  law  was  geuen  by  God  to  ftiewe  what  finne  was.  31 
Ceremonies  are  not  geuen  to  iuftify  the  hart,  but  to  figni- 

fie  our  iuflificatid  by  Chrift.  40

Our  temporall  lawes  fpring  out  of  the  law  of  nature.  17 

Loue  counfelleth  the  faythfuU  to  worke.  29 
We  muft  no^*  prefume  in  our  well  doing.,  nor*  codene

Notes  on  A  Prologe  in  to  the  thirde  boke  of  Mofes, 
called  Leuiticus. 

Mas  wifdome  is  playn  Idolatry,  it  fcattereth,  diuideth,  and 

maketh  fectes.  289      3 

Ceremonies  to  the  Ifraelites  and  lewes  were  as  good  fchole- 

maflers  are  to  young  fcholers.  12 

All  thynges  were  firfl  reueled  in  ceremonies  and  fhadowes 

vntill  it  pleafed  almighty  God,  to  reuele  hys  fonne

Sacrifices  aud  ceremonies  ferue  for  allegories  to  find  out 

Chrift.  13 

Similitudes  proue  nothyng,  but  doe  more  playnly  lead  thee 

to  vnderfland  the  text.  17 

Some  ceremonies  coteine  wholefome  and  profitable  doctrine.  29 

Ceremonies  ordeyned  to  confirme  our  fayth.  37 

Gods  fecretes  were  opened  but  to  a  fewe.  291       2 

The  ceremonies  them  felues  faued  not,  but  faith  in  Gods 

promife.  I2 

Our  nature  is  fo  weake  that  we  muft  be  holpen  by  out- 

warde  fignes  and  tokens.  29 

No  man  is  holpen  by  Gods  promifes,  but  fmners  that  feele 

their  finne.  38 

Sacramets  truly  miniftred  are  profitable.  292       2 

Sacramets  truly  miniftred  preach  vnto  vs  repetaunce  of

Not  naked    or   dome    ceremonies,   but  the    holy  ghofte

What  ftate  we  dye  in  the  fame  wee  fhall  rife  agayn,  either 

of  faluation  or  damnation.  293       2 

The  Sacramentes  are  vnto  y'  dead,  no  Sacramentes  at  all.  14 

Sacramentes  abufed  by  y*  Clergy.  18 

The  Papiftes  haue  had  no  fmall  frend  and  good  helper  of 

the  maffe.  23 

Hipocrites  prayers  ca  neither  profite  them  felues,  nor  any 

ma  els.  27 

Thofe  are  enemies  to  the  worde  of  God,  loue  neither  god 

nor  his  people.  34 

Allegories  are  to  bee  wel  weyed  and  confidered.  294      6 

The  greateft  caufe  of  the  decay  of  faith  and  blindnes  that

How  chrift  boroweth  figures  of  the  old  Teftament,  to  make 

plain  the  textes  of  the  new  teftament.  24 

Our  duety  is  to  do  good  dedes  but  faluation  we  cannot

A  good  example  taken  of  the  Lepers.  22 

The  true  preachyng  of  Gods  word,  doth  bynde  ana  lofe 

confciences.  34 

In  allegories  is  both  hony  &  gall,  that  is  to  fay,  both 

good  &  euil.  ,  297       5 

All  good  dedes  are  gods  workmanfhip,  &  wee  hys  inftru-

Notes   on  A  Prologe  in  to   the  fourth   boke  of  Mofes, 
called  Numeri. 

Freewill  and  vnbeliefe  were  the  ouerthrow  of  oure  fore- 
fathers. 385  5 
Then  cannot  they  be  the  childre  of  God,  which  put  more

Chrift.  16 

Faithleffe  workes.  3^6      I 

The  Pharifes  by  their  freewill  excluded  them  felues  from 

the  faluati5  in  Chrift.  7 

Blafphemy  to  chriftes  death.  23 

O  fubtle  Foxes  thorow  pouerte  made  themfelues  Lordes 

of  all.  28 

Wilfull  chaftitie  is  wilful  wickednes.  4° 

The  Papiftes  wilful  obedience,  is  comon  difobedience  to 

all  princes.  Z'^']      5 

Our  righteoufnes  commeth  not  by  our  merites,  but  thorow 

fayth,  by  the  bloud  of  our  fauiour  lefus  Chrift.  13 

Fayth  only  bringeth  vs  to  chrift  and  vnbelief  driueth  vs 

from  Chrift.  21 

Chrift  rebuked  the  Pharifes  for  their  holy  and  hipocritical 

dedes.  29 

The   pharifes   afcribe   righteoufnefle  to   workes,  &   ther- 

fore  were  condemned  of  Chrift.  39 

The  iuftifying  of  our  felues  maketh  the  diuell  more  bufier 

then  he  wold  be.  388       9 

What  is  meant  in  the  fcripture  by  this  word  vii.  tymes.  16 

Meritmogers  y'=  more  their  blindnes  is  rebuked,  the  more 

they  rebell  againft  Chrift  and  his  gofpell.  24 

The  doctrine  of  the  pharifes,  and  the  doctrine  of  our  papifts 

do  well  agree.  34 

The  Papiftes  cannot  away  with  iustification  by  fayth.  389     13 

Of  vowes.  16 

God  accepteth  for  vs  none  other  facrifice,  but  onely  lefu 

chrift  his  fonne.  28 

All  holines  in  our  own  imaginatio  is  a  robbing  of  chriftes 

honor.  yj 

Faith  foloweth  repentaunce  of  finne.  390    22

How  our  workes  are  good  in  the  fight  of  God.  390  39 
The  work  faueth  not,  but  the  word,  that  is  to  fay,  the 

promife.  391     6 

An  apt  fimilitude  for  reward  of  good  workes.  17 
All  vowes  mufl  be  made  for  y«  mortifying  or  tamyng  of

How  we  ought  to  vowe  wilfull  pouertie.  32

The  fight  of  riches,  is  rather  a  caufe  of  couetoufnes  then  a

A  good  vowe  is  to  kepe  Gods  commaundementes.  394      6 

How  thou  mayft.  lawfully  goe  on  pilgrimage.  17 
God  heareth  all  that  call  vppon  him  in  all  tymes  and  at  al

God  dwelleth  not  in  temples  made  with  mannes  handes.  34

This  boke  is  a  preachyng  of  fayth  and  loue.  4 
Here  thou  mayell  learne  a  right  meditation  or  contempla-

The  workes  of  God  are  fupernatural.  17 
We  mufl  abflaine  fro  outward  euill  though  not  for  loue  yet 

for  feare  of  the  vengeance  of  God.  27 

Vnto  the  law  of  god,  we  may  neither  add  nor  minifh.  31

God  is  mercyful  to  them  that  repent.  12 
Chrifl  hath  deliuered  vs,  &  therfore  we  ought  to  ferue  him

Loue  onely  is  the  fulfillyng  of  the  lawes  of  God.  29 

We  mufl  truft.  onely  in  God,  &  not  in  our  felues.  yj 
How  a  ma  may  trye  &  examine  hym  felfe,  how  much  he

And  if  wee  firft  loue  God,  then  out  of  that  loue,  we  muft

What  it  is  to  loue  and  feare  God,  and  what  it  is  to  defpife

shadow  of  Christ  and  of  his  vicar,  St.  Peter, 
which  under  Christ  was  also  the  head  of  chris- 
tian people."  "The  third  likeness  is  this. 
Moyses  ascended  unto  the  mount  to  speak 
with  Almighty  God,  and  Aaron  remained 
behind  to  instruct  the  people.  Did  not  Christ 
likewise  ascend  unto  his  Father,  unto  the 
great  mount  of  heaven  ?  and  to  what  intent, 
I  pray  you  ?  St.  Paul  telleth:  Ut  appareat 
vuUui  Dei  pro  nobis:  To  appear  before  the 
face  of  Almighty  God  for  us,  and  there  to  be 
our  advocate,  as  saith  St.  John.  And  did  not 
Peter  remain  behind  to  teach  the  people,  the 
which  our  Saviour  committed  to  his  charge, 
like  as  Aaron  was  left  for  to  do  the  people  of 
the  Jews,  when  Moses  was  alone  in  the  mount 
with  God  ?  Thus  every  man  may  see  how 
that  shadow,  and  this  thing,  agreeth  and  an- 
swereth  one  to  another,  fully  and  clearly."

their  both  lyvinges  and  doinges  are  rebuked  with  the 

lo  trouth)  faye,  fome  of  them  that  it  is  impoffible  to 
tranflate  the  fcripture  in  to  Englifh,  fome  that  it  is 
not  lawfull  for  the  laye  people  to  haue  it  in  their 
mother  tonge,  fome,  that  it  wold  make  them  all  here-

the  treuth,  that  they  myght  with  as  litle  laboure  (as 
I  fuppofe)  haue  tranflated  the  mofte  parte  of  the  bible. 
For  they  which  in  tymes  pafte  were  wont  to  loke  on 
no  more  fcripture  then  they  founde  in  their  duns  or 
5  foch  like  develyfh  doctryne,  haue  yet  now  fo  narowlye 
loked  on  my  tranflatyon,  that  there  is  not  fo  moch  as 
one  I  therin  if  it  lacke  a  tytle  over  his  hed,  but  they 
haue  noted  it,  and  nombre  it  vnto  the  ignorant  people 
for  an  herefy.     Finallye  in  this  they  be  all  agreed,  to 

10  dryve  you  from  the  knowlege  of  the  fcripture,  &  that 
ye  fhall  not  haue  the  texte  therof  in  the  mother  tonge, 
and  to  kepe  the  world  ftyll  in  darkeneffe,  to  thentent 
they  might  fitt  in  the  confciences  of  the  people,  thorow

15  fylthy  luftes,  their  proude  ambition,  and  vnfatiable

•I  A  thoufand  bokes  had  they  lever  to  be  put  forth 
agenfte  their  abhominable  doynges  and  doctrine,  then 

20  that  the  fcripture  fhulde  come  to  light.  For  as  longe 
as  they  maye  kepe  that  doune,  they  will  fo  darken  the 
ryght  way  with  the  .?.  mifte  of  their  fophifbrye,  and  fo 
tangle  the  that  ether  rebuke  or  defpyfe  their  abhomin- 
ations  with  argumerites  of  philofophye  &  with  wordly 

25  fymylitudes  and  apparent  reafons  of  naturall  wifdom. 
And  with  wreftinge  the  fcripture  unto  their  awne  pur- 
pofe  clene  contrarye  unto  f  proceffe,  order  and  mean- 
inge  of  the  texte,  and  fo  delude  them  in  defcantynge

people  in  any  truth,  excepte  y  fcripture  were  playnly

€1  And  even  in  the  biffhope  of  londons  houfe  I  en- 

lo  tended  to  have  done  it.  For  when  I  was  fo  turmoyled 
in  the  contre  where  I  was  that  I  coude  no  lenger  there 
dwell  (the  proceffe  wherof  were  to  longe  here  to  re-

caufe  the  preftes  of  the  contre  be  vnlerned,  as  god  it 

15  knoweth  there  are  a  full  ignorant  forte  which  haue 
fene  no  more  latyn  then  that  they  read  in  their  por- 
teffes  and  miffales  which  yet  many  of  them  can  fcacely 
read,  (excepte  it  be  Albertus  de  fecretis  mulieru  in 
which   yet,  though   they  be   never  fo   foryly  lerned, 

20  they  pore  day  and  night  and  make  notes  therin  and 
all  to  teach  the  mydwyves  as  they  fay,  and  linwod  a 
boke  of  conftitutions  to  gether  tithes,  mortuaryes,

calle,  not  theirs,  but  godes  parte  and  the  deuty  of 

25  holye  chirch,  to  difcharge  their  confciences  with  all: 
for  they  are  bound  that  they  fhall  not  dimynyfh,  but 
encreace  all  thinge  vnto  the  vttmoft  of  their  powers) 
and  therfore  (becaufe  they  are  thus  vnlerned  thought 
I)  when  they  come  to  gedder  to  the  ale  houfe,  which 

30  is  their  preachinge  place,  they  afferme  that  my  fa- 
inges  are  herefy.  And  befydes  f  they  adde  to  of  thir 
awne  heddes  which  I  never  fpake,  as  the  maner  is  to 
prolonge  the  tale  to  fhorte  .?.  the  tyme  with  all,  and 
accufe  me  fecretly  to  the  chauncelare  and  other  the

the  chauncelare,  he  thretened  me  grevoufly,  and  re- 
vyled  me  and  rated  me  as  though  I  had  bene  a  dogge, 
and  layd  to  my  charge  wherof  there  coude  be  none

40  forth  the  accufer)  and  yet  all  the  preftes  of  f  contre

Erafmus  (whofe  tonge  maketh  of  litle  gnattes  greate

And  fo  I  gate  me  to  london,  &  thorow  the  accoynt-

fayth,  f  the  fcripture  is  good  to  teache  (for  f  ought 
me  to  teach  &  not  dreames  of  their  awne  makige,  as 
y  pope  doth)  &  alfo  to  improve,  for  y  fcripture  is  y 
twichftone  f  tryeth  all  doctrynes,  ad  by  f  we  know

he  calleth  it  the  fwerd  of  the  fpirite,  by  caufe  it  killeth 
hyppocrites,  and  vttereth  ad  improveth  their  falfe  in-

all  that  are  wryten,  are  wryten  for  oure  learninge,  that

god  in  creatinge  all  of  nought  Then  marke  the 
grevous  fall  of  Adam  and  of  vs  all  in  him,  thorow 
the  lightregardige  of  the  .IT.  commaundement  of  god. 

lo  In  the  .iiii.  Chapitre  god  turneth  him  vnto  Abel  and 
then  to  his  offeringe,  but  not  to  Cain  and  his  offeringe. 
Where  thou  feeft  that  though  the  deades  of  the  evel 
apere  outwardly  as  gloryous  as  the  deades  of  the  good: 
yet  in  the  fight  of  god  which  loketh  on  the  harte,  the 

15  deade  is  good  becaufe  of  the  man,  and  not  the  man 
good  becaufe  of  his  deade.  In  the  .vi.  God  fendeth 
Noe  to  preach  to  the  weked  and  geveth  them  fpace  to 
repent:  they  wax  hard  herted,  God  bringeth  them  to 
nought  And  yet  faveth  Noe:  even  by  the  fame  water 

20  by  which  he  deftroyed  them.  Marke  alfo  what  folowed 
the  pryde  of  the  buyldinge  of  the  toure  of  Babel 

Confydre  how  God  fendeth  forth  Abraha  out  of  his 
awne  countre  in  to  a  fbrange  lande  full  of  weked  people, 
and  gave  him  but  a  bare  promeffe  with  him  that  he 

25  wold  bleffe  him  and  defende  him.  Abraham  beleved: 
and  that  worde  faued  and  delyuered  him  in  all  parelles: 
fo  that  we  fe,  how  that  mannes  life  is  not  mayntayned 
by  bred  onlye  (as  Chrifte  fayeth)  but  moch  rather  by 
belevinge  the  promyfes  of  god.    Behold  how  foberly  and 

30  how  circufpectly  both  Abraham  and  alfo  Ifaac  behaue 
them  felves  amoge  the  infideles.  Abraham  byeth  that 
which  might  have  ben  geven  him  for  nought,  to  cutte 
of  occafions.  Ifaac  when  his  welles  which  he  had  digged 
were  taken  from  him,  geveth  rowme  and  refifteth  not. 

35  More  over  they  ere  and  fo-  .IT.  we  and  fede  their  catell, 
and  make  confederacyons,  ad  take  perpetuall  truce,  and 
do  all  outward  thinges:  Even  as  they  do  which  have 
no  faith,  for  god  hath  not  made  vs  to  be  ydle  in  this 
world.     Every  man   muft  worke  godly  and  truly  to

we  do  to  good  effecte.  And  the  when  oure  power  will 
extend  no  further,  goddes  promeffes  wyll  worke  all

5  €[  How  many  thinges  alfo  refifted  the  promeffes  of 
god  to  lacob?  And  yet  lacob  coniureth  god  with  his

went  out  but  with  a  ftaffe,  and  come  home  with  .ii

15  Efau,  for  I  feare  him  greatly  &c.  And  god  delyvered 
him,  and  will  likewyfe  all  that  call  unto  his  promeffes 
with  a  repentinge  herte,  were  they  never  fo  great 
fynners.  Marke  alfo  the  weake  infirmites  of  the  ma

20  more  than  a  nother.  And  fe  how  god  purgeth  him. 
Efau  threteneth  him:  Laban  begyleth  him.  The  be-

his  wife  is  defyled,  and  that  of  his  awne  fonne.  Rahel

was  in  hyr  mouth  a  lefe  of  an  olyve  tre  which  fhe  had

12  abated  vppon  the  erth.  And  he  taried  yet  .vii.  other 
dayes,  and  fent  forth  the  doue,  which  from  thence 
forth  came  no  more  agayne  to  him. 

13  And  it  came  to  paffe,  the  fyxte  hundred  and  one 
yere  and  the  fyrft  daye  of  the  fyrft  moneth,  that  the 
waters  were  dryed  vpp  apon  the  erth.  And  Noe  toke 
off  the  hatches  of  the  arke  and  loked:  And  beholde, 

14  the  face  of  the  erth  was  drye.  So  by  the  .xxvii.  daye 
of  the  feconde  moneth  the  erth  was  drye. 

15,  16  And  God  fpake  vnto  Noe  faynge:  come  out  of

18  vppon  the  erth.     And   Noe  came  out,  ad  his  fonnes 

19  and  his  wyfe  and  his  fonnes  wyues  with  hym.  And  all 
the  beaftes,  and  all  the  wormes,  and  all  the  foules, 
and  all  that  moved  vppon  the  erth,  came  alfo  out  of 
the  arke,  all  of  one  kynde  together. 

20  And  Noe  made  an  aulter  vnto  the  LORDE,  and 
toke  of  all  maner  of  clene  beaftes  and  all  maner  of 
clene   foules,   and    ofifred   facrifyce   vppon  the  aulter.

10  I  do  remembre  my  fawte  this  daye.  Pharao  was  an-

11  marfhals  houfe  both  me  and  the  chefe  baker.  And 
we  dreamed  both  of  vs  in  one  nyght  and  ech  mannes

12  And  there  was  with  vs  a  yonge  man,  an  Hebrue

told  him,  and  he  declared  oure  dreames  to  vs  acord- 

13  ynge  to  ether  of  oure  dreames.  And  as  he  declared 
them  vnto  vs,  euen  fo  it  came  to  paffe,  I  was  reftored

made  him  hafte  out  of  prefon.  And  he  fhaued  him

17        Pharao  fayde  vnto  lofeph:  in  my  dreame  me  thought 
.18  I  ftode  by  a  ryvers  fyde,  and  there  came  out  of  the

flefhed:  fo  that  I  neuer  fawe  their  lyke  in  all  the  lande 
CO  of  Egipte  in  euell  fauordneffe.     And  the  .vii.  leane  and 

21  euell  fauored  kyne  ate  vpp  the  firft  .vii.  fatt  kyne  And 
when  they  had  eaten  them  vp,  a  man  cowde  not  per- 
ceaue  that  they  had  eate  them:  for  they  were  ftill  as 
evyll  fauored  as  they  were  at  the  begynnynge.  And 
I  awoke. 

22  And  I  fawe  agayne  in  my  dreame  .vii.  eares  fprynge

wytherd,  thinne  and  blafted  with  wynde,  fprynge  vp

25  Then  lofeph  fayde  vnto  Pharao:  both  Pharaos 
dreames  are  one.     And  god  doth  fhewe  Pharao  what 

26  he  is  aboute  to  do.  The  .vii.  good  kyne  are  .vii 
yeres:  &  the  .vii.  good  eares  are  .vii.  yere  alfo,  and 

27  is  but  one  dreame.  Lykewyfe,  the  .vii.  thynne  and

yeares:  and  the  .vii.  emptie  and  blafted  eares  fhalbe 

28  vii.  yeares  of  hunger.  This  is  that  which  I  fayde  vnto 
Pharao,  that  God  doth  fhewe  Pharao  what  he  is  aboute

to  faye  annoynted,  and  that  we  call  Chrifte  after  the 
greke  worde.  And  it  is  a  prophefie  of  Chrift:  For  after 
f  all  y  other  tribes  were  in  captiuite  &  their  kyng- 
dom  deftroyed,  yet  the  tribe  of  luda  had  a  ruler  of 

25  the  famebloud,  even  vnto  the  comynge  of  Chrift. 

.?.  And  aboute  the  comige  of  Chrift  the  Romayns  con- 
quered them,  and  the  Emperoure  gaue  the  kyngdom 
of  tribe  luda  unto  Herode  which  was  a  flraunger,  even 
an  Edomite  of  the  generacyon  of  Efau. 

30  Teftamet  here,  is  an  appoyntemet  betwene  god  and 
ma,  and  goddes  promyfes.  And  facramet  is  a  figne  rep- 
refentinge  foch  an  appoyntement  and  promefes:  as  the 
raynebowe  reprefenteth  the  promyfe  made  to  Noe,  that 
god  will  no  more  drowne  the  worlde.     And  circum- 

35  ciflon  reprefenteth  the  promyfes  of  god  to  Abraham 
on  the  one  fyde,  and  that  Abraha  and  his  feed  fhuld 
circumcyfe  and  cut  off  the  luftes  of  their  flefhe,  on  the 
other  fyde,  to  walke  in  the  wayes  of  the  lorde:  As

fyde,  how  that  the  fame  muft  quench  ad  droune  the 
luftes  of  the  flefh,  to  folow  the  fteppes  of  Chrift. 
5  There  were  tyrantes  in  the  erth  in  thofe  dayes,  for 
the  fonnes  of  god  faw  the  doughters  of  men.  &c.  The 
fonnes  of  god  were  the  prophetes  childerne,  which 
(though  they  fucceded  there  fathers)  fell  yet  from  the 
right  Avaye,  and  thorow  falfehod  of  hypocryfye  fubdued 

lo  the  world  vnder  them,  and  became  tyrantes,  As  the 
fuccef-  .?.  ours  of  the  apoflles  haue  played  with  vs. 

Vapor,  a  dewy  mifte,  as  the  fmoke  of  a  feth-

To  walke  with  god  is  to  lyve  godly  and  to  walke 

15  in  his  commaundementes. 

Enos  walked  with  god,  and  was  no  moare  fene :  that  is, 
he  lyved  godly  and  dyed,  God  toke  him  a  waye:  that 
is,  god  hyd  his  bodye,  as  he  did  Mofes  ad  Aarons:  left 
haplye  they  fhuld  haue  made  an  IdoU  of  him,  for  he 

20  was  a  great  preacher  and  an  holye  man. 

Zaphnath  paenea,  wordes  of  Egipte  are  they  (as  I 
fuppofe)  and  as  moch  to  faye:  as  a  man  to  whom 
fecrete  thinges  be  opened,  or  an  expounder  of  fecrete 
thinges  as  fome  enterprete  it. 

25  That  lofeph  broughtthe  egiptians  in  to  foch  fubiiec- 
tion  wold  feme  vnto  fome  a  very  cruell  deade:  how  be 
it  it  was  a  very  equal  waye.  For  they  payde  but  the 
fifte  part  of  that  that  grewe  on  the  grounde.  And 
therwith  were  they  qwytt  of  all  duetyes,  both  of  rent, 

30  cuftome,  tribute  &  toll.  And  the  kinge  therwith  founde 
them  lordes  and  all  miniflres  and  defended  them. 
We  now  paye  half  fo  moch  vnto  the  prefles  only, 
befyde  their  other  craftye  exactions.  Then  paye  we 
rent  yerely,  though  there  grow  never  fo  litle  on  the 

35  grounde.  And  yet,  when  the  kinge  cal-  .1.  leth  paye  we 
neuer  the  leffe.  So  that  if  we  loke  indifferently,  their 
condition  was  eafyar  the  oures,  and  but  even,  a  very 
indifferet  waye,  both  for  the  comen  people  and  the 
kynge  alfo.

de   boke   of  Mofes   called 

Exodus. 


m  c 


F  the  preface  vppo  Genefis  mayft  thou  vn- 
derftonde  how  to  behaue  thi  filf  in  this  boke 
alfo  ad  i  all  other  bokes  of  the  fcripture. 
Cleaue  vnto  the  texte  and  playne  ftorye 
5  and  endevoure  thi  filf  to  ferch  out  the  meaninge  of  all 
that  is  defcribed  therin  and  the  true  fenfe  of  all  maner 
of  fpeakynges  of  the  fcripture,  of  proverbes,  fimilitudes 
ad  borowed  fpeach,  wherof  I  entreated  in  the  ende  of 
the  obedience,  and  beware  of  fotle  allegoryes.     And 

lo  note  euery  thinge  erneftly  as  thinges  partayninge 
vnto  thine  awne  herte  and  foule.  For  as  god  vfed 
hym  fylf  vnto  them  of  the  old  teftament,  even  fo  fhall 
he  vnto  the  worldes  ende  vfe  him  filf  vnto  vs  which 
haue  receaved  his  holye  fcripture  ad  the  teftimonye  of 

IS  his  fonne  lefus.  As  god  doeth  all  thinges  here  for  them 
that  beleve  his  promifes  and  herken  vnto  his  com- 
maundmentes  and  with  pacience  cleaue  vnto  him  and 
walke  with  him:  euen  fo  fhall  he  do  for  vs,  yf  we  re- 
ceaue  the  witneffe  of  Chrift  with  a  ftronge  faith  and 

20  endure  paciently  folowinge  his  fteppes.  And  on  the 
otherfyde,  as  they  that  fell  from  the  promises  of  god 
thorow  vnbelefife  and  from  his  liawe  and  ordinaunces 
thorow  impaciencie  of  their  awne  luftes,  were  for  faken 
of  god  ad  fo  peryfhed:  even  fo  fhall  we  as  many  as  do 

25  lykewyfe  and  as.f  .manye  as  mock  with  the  doctrine 
of  chrifb  and  make  a  cloke  of  it  to  lyue  flefhlye  ad  to 
folow  oure  luftes. 

Note  therto  how  god  is  founde  true  at  the  laft,  and 
how  when  all  is  paft  remedye  ad  brought  into  defpera- 

;o  cion,  he  then  fulfilleth  his  promifes,  and  that  by  an  ab- 
iecte  and  a  caftawaye,  a  defpifed  and  a  refufed  perfon: 
ye  and  by  awaye  impoffible  to  beleue. 

The  caufe  of  all  captiuite  of  goddes  people  is  this. 
The  worlde  ever  hateth  them  for  their  fayth  and  truft 

35  which  they  haue  in  god:  but  i  vayne  vntill  they  falle  fro 
the  fayth  of  the  promyfes  ad  love  of  the  lawe  ad  ordi- 


i62  3E  S 

naunces  of  god,  and  put  their  truft  in  holy  deades  of  their 
awne  findinge  and  live  all  to  gether  at  their  awne  luft 
and  pleafure  without  regard  of  god  or  refpecte  of  their 
neygboure.  Then  god  forftketh  vs  and  fendeth  vs  in  to 
5  captiuite  for  oure  difhonouringe  of  his  name  and  defpifinge 
of  oure  neghboure.  But  the  world  perfecuteth  vs  for  oure 
faith  in  chrift  only  (as  the  pope  now  doeth)  ad  not  for 
oure  weked  livinge  For  in  his  kigdome  thou  maift 
quietly  ad  with  licece  ad  vnder  a  protectio  doo  what 

lo  fo  euer  abhominatio  thi  herte  lufteth:  but  god  perfe- 
cuteth us  becaufe  we  abufe  his  holye  teftamet,  ad 
becaufe  that  whe  we  knowe  the  truth  we  folowe  it 
not. 

.?.  Note  alfo  the  mightye  hand  of  the  Lorde,  how 

15  he  playeth  with  his  aduerfaries  ad  provoketh  the  ad 
fturreth  the  upp  a  litle  ad  a  litle,  ad  deliuereth  not  his 
people  in  an  houre:  that  both  the  paciece  of  his  electe 
ad  alfo  the  worldly  witte  ad  wilye  policye  of  the  weked 
wherwith  they  fight  agaynft  god,  might  appeare. 

20  Marke  the  longefoferinge  and  fofte  paciece  of  Mofes  and 
how  he  loveth  the  people  ad  is  euer  betwene  the  wrath  of 
god  ad  the  ad  is  readye  to  lyue  ad  dye  with  the  ad  to 
be  put  out  of  the  boke  that  god  had  written  for  their 
fakes  (as  Paule  for  his  brothren  Roma,  ix.)  and  how 

25  he  taketh  his  awne  wroges  pacientlie  ad  never  avengeth 
him  filf  And  make  not  Mofes  a  figure  of  Chrift  with 
Rocheftre:  but  an  enfample  vnto  all  princes  ad  to  all 
that  are  in  authorite,  how  to  rule  vnto  goddes  pleafure 
ad  vnto  their  neyghbours  profette.     For  there  is  not  a 

30  perfecter  lyfife  in  this  world  both  to  the  honoure  of  god 
and  profytte  of  his  neygboure  nor  yet  a  greatter  croffe, 
the  to  rule  chriftenlye.  And  of  Aaron  alfo  fe  that  thou 
make  no  figure  of  chrift  vntill  he  come  vnto  his  facri- 
fifinge,  but  an  enfample  vnto  all  preachers  of  goddes 

35  worde,  that  they  adde  nothing  vnto  goddes  worde  or 
take  ought  therfro. 

Note  alfo  how  god  fendeth  his  promiffe  to  .?. 
the  people  ad  Mofes  confermeth  it  with  miracles  ad 
the  people  beleve.     But  whe  teptacion  cometh  they 

40  falle  into  vnbeleffe  ad  few  byde  ftodinge.  Where 
thou  feeft  that  all  be  not  chrifte  that  wilbe  fo  called, 


w  t!r  163 

ad  that  the  croffe  trieth  the  true  fro  the  fayned: 
for  yf  the  croffe  were  not  Chrift  fhuld  haue  diffiples 
ynowe.  Wherof  alfo  thou  feefb  what  an  excellent  gifte 
off  god  true  fayth  is,  ad  impoffible  to  be  had  without 
5  the  fprete  of  god.  For  it  is  aboue  all  naturall  power 
that  a  man  in  tyme  of  teptation  when  god  fcorgeth 
him  fhuld  beleue  then  fbedfafblye  how  that  god  loveth 
him  ad  careth  for  hi  ad  hath  prepared  all  good 
thinges  for  him,  ad  that  that  fcorginge  is  as  erneft  that 

10  god  hath  electe  and  chofe  him. 

Note  how  oft  Mofes  fturreth  the  vpp  to  beleve  ad  to 
truft  in  god,  puttinge  the  in  remembraunce  alwaye  in 
tyme  of  temptation  of  the  miracles  and  wonders  which 
god  had  wrought  before  tyme  in  their  eyfight.     How 

15  diligently  alfo  forbiddeth  he  al  that  might  withdrawe 
their  hartes  from  god.?  to  put  nought  to  goddes  word:  to 
take  nought  therfro:  to  do  only  that  which  is  right  in  the 
fyght  of  the  Lorde:  that  they  fhuld  make  no  maner  image 
to  knele  doune  before  it:  ye  that  they  fhuld  make  none 

20  altar  of  hewed  ftone  for  feare  off  images:  .?.  to  flee  the 
hethen  Idolatres  vtterly  ad  to  deftroye  their  Idolles 
ad  cutte  doune  their  groves  where  they  worfhupped: 
And  that  they  fhulde  not  take  the  doughters  of  them 
vnto  their  fonnes,  nor  geue  their  doughters  to  the  fonnes 

25  of  them.  And  that  whofoeuer  moued  any  of  the  to 
worJliuppe  falfe  goddes,  how  fo  euer  nye  of  kynne  he 
were,  they  mull  accufe  him  ad  bryng  him  to  deth,  ye 
and  wherefoeuer  they  hard  of  ma,  woma  or  citye  that 
worfhupped  falfe  goddes,  they  muft  flee  the  ad  deflroye 

30  the  citie  for  ever  ad  not  bild  it  agayne.  And  all  be- 
caufe  they  fhuld  worfhuppe  nothinge  but  God,  nor  put 
confidence  in  any  thinge  faue  in  his  word  Yee  and 
how  warneth  he  to  beware  of  witchcraft,  forcery,  in- 
chauntment,  negromatie  ad  all  craftes  of  the  devell, 

35  ad  of  dreamers,  fothfayers  and  of  myracledoers  to 
deftroye  his  worde,  and  that  they  fhulde  fuffer  none 
foch  to  lyue. 

Thou  wilt  happlye  faye.  They  tell  a  man  the  truthe. 
What  then.''     God  will  that  we  care  not  to  knowe  what 

40  fhall  come.  He  will  haue  vs  care  only  to  kepe  his  com- 
maundmetes  and  to  commytte  all  chaunfes  vnto  him 


f  64  ,       'Wi  M 

He  hath  promyfed  to  care  for  vs  and  to  kepe  vs  from 
all  evell.  All  thinges  are  in  his  hande,  he  can  remedye 
all  thinges  and  wil  for  his  truthes  fake,  yf  we  praye  him. 
In  his  promyfes  only  will  he  haue  vs  truft  ad  there  reft 

5  ad  to  feke  .?.  no  farther. 

How  alfo  doth  he  prouoke  them  to  loue,  euer 
reherfynge  the  benefites  of  God  done  to  them  all- 
ready  and  the  godly  promyfes  that  were  to  come  .'' 
And  how  goodly  lawes  of  loue  geveth  he  .?  to  helpe 

lo  one  another:  and  that  a  man  fhuld  not  hate  his 
neyghboure  in  his  harte,  but  loue  him  as  him  filf, 
Leuitici  .xix.  And  what  a  charge  geueth  he  in  euery 
place  over  the  poore  and  neadye:  over  the  ftraunger 
frendleffe  ad  wedowe  ?     And  when  he  defyreth  to  ftiew 

15  mercye,  he  reherfeth  with  all,  the  benefites  of  God  done 
to  them  at  their  neade,  that  they  myght  fe  a  caufe  at 
the  left  waye  in  God  to  ftiew  mercye  of  very  loue  vnto 
their  neyghboures  at  their  neade.  Alfo  there  is  no 
lawe  fo  fimple  in  apperaunce  thorow  out  all  the  fine 

20  bokes  of  Mofes,  but  that  there  is  a  greate  reafon  of  the 
makynge  therof  if  a  man  ferch  diligently.  As  that  a 
man  is  forbyd  to  feth  a  kyd  in  hys  mothers  milke,  mou- 
eth  vs  unto  compaffyon  and  to  be  pytyefull,  As  doth 
alfo  that  a  man  fhall  not  offer  the  fyre  or  dame  and 

25  the  yonge  both  in  one  daye  Leuitici  .xxii.  For  it  myght 
feme  a  cruell  thing  inj  as  moch  as  his  mothers  milke 
is  as  it  were  his  bloude,  wherfore  god  will  not  haue  him 
fod  therin:  but  will  haue  a  man  fhewe  cur-.f  .tefye  vppon 
the  very  beaftes:  As  in  another  place  he  commaund- 

30  eth  that  we  mofell  not  the  mouth  of  the  oxe  that  tread- 
eth  oute  the  corne  (which  maner  of  threfftiinge  is  vfed 
in  hote  contrees)  and  that  becaufe  we  fhuld  moch  rath- 
er not  grudge  to  be  liberall  and  kynde  vnto  me  that 
do  vs  fervice.    Or  happlye  God  wold  have  no  foch  wan- 

35  ton  meate  vfed  among  hys  people.  For  the  kyd  of  it 
felf  is  noryfhinge  and  the  gotes  milke  is  reftauretyue, 
and  both  together  myght  be  to  rancke  and  therfore 
forbode  or  fome  other  like  caufe  therewas. 

Of  the  ceremonies,  facrifices  and  tabernacle  with  all  his 

40  glorye  ad  pompe  vnderftode,  that  they  were  not  per- 
mitted only,  but  alfo  commaunded  of  God  to  lead  the  pec- 


Wi   C  i65 

pie  in  the  (hadowes  of  Mofes  ad  night  of  the  old  teftamet, 
vntyll  the  light  of  chrift  ad  daye  of  the  new  teftamet 
were  come:  As  childern  are  ledde  in  the  phantafies 
of  youth,  vntyll  the  difcretio  of  mas  age  become  vppon 
5  them.  And  all  was  done  to  kepe  them  from  idolatrye. 
The  tabernacle  was  ordened  to  the  entent  they  might 
haue  a  place  appoynted  them  to  do  their  facrifices 
openly  in  the  fyght  of  the  people  ad  namelye  of  the 
preaftes  which  waytedthero:  that  it  might  be  fene  that 

lo  they  dyd  all  thige  accordig  to  gods  word,  and  not 
after  the  Idolatrie  of  their  awne  .?.  imaginacion.  And 
the  coftlineffe  of  the  tabernacle  ad  the  bewtye  alfo 
pertayned  therevnto,  that  they  fhuld  fe  nothinge  fo  bew- 
tifuU  amonge  the  hethe,  but  that  they  fhuld  fe  more 

15  bewtifuU  ad  wonderful!  at  home:  becaufe  they  fhuld 
not  be  moued  to  folowe  them.  And  in  like  maner  the 
diuers  facions  of  the  facrifices  and  ceremonies  was  to 
occupye  their  mindes  that  they  fhuld  haue  no  luft  to 
folow  the  hethe:  ad  the  multitude  of  them  was,  that  they 

20  fliuld  haue  fo  moch  to  do  in  kepinge  the  that  thei  fhuld 
haue  no  leyfure  to  ymagine  other  of  their  awne:  yee  and 
that  gods  word  might  be  by  in  all  that  they  dyd,  that 
they  might  have  their  fayth  and  truft  in  God,  which 
he  can  not  haue,  that  ether  foloweth  his  awne  inven- 

25  cyons,  or  tradicyons  of  menes  makynge  wyth  out  Gods 
word. 

Finally  God  hath  two  teftamentes:  the  old  and  the 
newe.  The  old  teftament  is  thofe  temporal!  promyfes 
which  God  made  the  childre  of  Ifrael  of  a  good  londe 

30  and  that  he  wolde  defende  them,  and  of  welth  and  prof- 
peryte  ad  of  temporall  bleffynges  of  whiche  thou  read- 
eft  ouer  all  the  lawe  of  Mofes,  But  namelye  Leuitici 
xxvi.  And  Deuteronomii  .xxviii.  ad  the  avoydynge  of 
all   threateninges   and   curfes  off  which  thou  readeft 

35  lykewyfe  everye  where,  but  fpecyallye  in  the  two 
places  aboue  reherfed,  .f.  and  the  avoydinge  of  all 
punyfhmet  ordened  for  the  tranfgreffers  of  the  lawe. 

And  the  old  teftamet  was  bilt  all  to  gether  vppo 
the  kepinge  of  the  lawe  ad  ceremonyes  and  was  the 

40  reward  of  kepinge  of  the  in  this  liffe  only,  ad  reached

IS  vfe  of  them,  and  hath  geue  you  a  lawe,  but  hath  not 
wryten  it  in  youre  hartes. 

Wherfore  ferveth  the  lawe  then,  yf  it  geue  vs  no

was  geuen  to  vtter  fynne  onlye  and  .?.  to  make  it

eafe  a  lyve,  that  a  ma  might  feale  in  what  ioperdye 
he  is  ad  how  nye  deeth  ad  not  aware,  ad  to  make

25  Paule  Gala.  iii.  The  lawe  was  geven  becaufe  of  tranf- 
grefTio  (that  is,  to  make  the  fynne  alyve  that  it  might 
be  felt  and  fene)  untill  the  feed  came  vnto  whom  it 
was  promifed:  that  is  to  faie,  vntil  the  childern  of  fayth 
came,  or  vntill  Chrift  that  feed  in  whom  god  promifed 

30  Abraha  that  all  nations  of  the  worlde  fhuld  be  bleffed, 
came.  That  is,  the  lawe  was  geue  to  vtter  fynne, 
deeth  damnatio  and  curfe,  ad  to  dryve  vnto  Chrift  in 
who  forgeueneffe,  life,  iuftifyinge  ad  bleffmges  were 
promifed,  that  we  might  fe  fo  greate  love  of  god  to  vs 

35  ward  in  chrift,  that  we  heceforth  ouercome  with  kind- 
neffe  might  love  againe  ad  of  love  kepe  the  comaud-

cofciece  ad  to  iuflifye  him  filf  with  the  lawe,  doth  but 
heale  his  wondes  with  freatlge  corefyes.     And  he  that

to  fignifie  the  iuftifiynge:  and  forgeueneffe  that  is  in

geue  that  coude  haue  quykened  or  geue  liffe,  then  had 
rightuoufneffe  or  iuftifyinge  come  by  the  lawe  in  dede. 

10  Now  the  lawe  not  only  quyckeneth  not  the  harte,  but 
alfo  woundeth  it  with  confcience  of  fynne  and  minif- 
treth  deeth  ad  damnacio  vnto  her:  ii.  Corin.  iii.  fo  that

The  newe  teftament  is  thofe  euerlaftinge  promyfes 
which  are  made  vs  in  chrift  the  Lorde  thorow  out  all 
the  fcripture.  And  that  teftamet  is  bylt  on  faith  ad 
not  on  workes.     For  it  is  not  fayde  of  that  teftament 

20  he  that  worketh  fhall  lyue:  But  he  that  beleveth  fhall 

lyue,  as  thou  readeft  .loan.  iii.    God  fo  loued  the  worlde 

that  he  gaue  his  only  begote  fonne  that  none  which 

beleue  in  hi  fhuld  perifh  but  haue  euerlaftinge  lyfe. 

And   when    this    teftament   is   preached    and    be- 

25  leued,  the  fprete  entreth  the  hart  and  quyckeneth 
it,  and  geueth  her  lyfe  and  iuftifieth  her.  The  fprete 
alfo  maketh  the  lawe  a  lyuely  thing  .T.  in  the  herte, 
fo  that  a  man  bringeth  forth  good  workes  of  his  awne 
acord  without  compulfio  of  the  lawe,   without  feare 

30  of  threateninges  or  curfmges:  yee  and  with  out  all 
maner  refpecte  or  loue  vnto  any  temporal  pleafure, 
But  of  the  very  power  of  the  fprete  receaved  thorow

to  be  the  fonnes  of  God  in  that  they  beleued  on  his 

35  name.  And  of  that  power  they  worke:  fo  that  he 
which  hath  the  fprete  of  chrift  is  now  no  moare  a 
childe:  he  nether  learneth  or  worketh  now  any  longer 
for  payne  of  the  rodde  or  for  feare  of  boogges  or  pleaf- 
ure of  apples.  But  doth  althinges  of  his  awne   courage

That  is,  All  good  workes  ad  all  giftes  of  grace  fpringe

Thou  neadeft  not  to  wreft  good  workes  out  of  him

The  newe  teflament  was  euer,  eue  from  the  begin- 
ning of  the  world.  For  there  were  alwaye  promyfes 
of  Chrift  to  come  by  faith  in  whiche  promyfes  the 

lo  electe  were  then  iuflified  .IT.  inwardly  before  God,  as 
outwardly  before  the  world  by  kepynge  of  the  lawe  and

And  in  conclufyon  as  thou  feyfb  bleffmges  or  curf-

And  contraryewyfe  when  they  fynne  vnpunifhed,  ad 
whe  the  rulars  haue  no  refpecte  vnto  naturall  equyte  or 
honeftye,  the  God  fendeth  his  curfes  amonge  the,  as  hun-

And   the  hayle  fmote  all  the  herbes  of  the  feld  and 

26  broke  all  the  trees  of  the  felde:  only  in  the  lande  of 
Gofan  where  the   childern  of  Ifraell  were,  was  there 

27  no  hayle.  And  Pharao  fent  ad  called  for  Mofes  and

hayle  maye  ceafe,  and  I  will  let  you  goo,  and  ye  fhall 
tarie  no  longer. 

29  And  Mofes  fayde  vnto  him:  affoone  as  I  am  out  of

Lorde,  and  the  thunder  fhall  ceaffe,  nether  fhall  there 
be  any  moare  hayle:  that  thou  mayftknowe,  howethat

be  rendered  sight,  or  mirror;  the  latter  is  the  rendering  of  the  LXX  ,  which,  if  correct, 
imports  that  the  laver  of  brass  was  made  of  the  brazen  mirrors,  offered  by  the  womea

God  (as  I  fayde  in  the  ende  of  the  prologe 
vppon  Exodi)  to  occupye  the  mindes  of 
5  that  people  the  Ifraelites,  and  to  kepe  them  from  fer- 
vinge  of  God  after  the  imaginacyon  of  their  blinde  zele 
and  good  entent:  that  their  confciences  might  be 
ftablifhed  and  they  fure  that  they  pleafed  God  there- 
in, which  were  impofllble,  yf  a  man  did  of  his  awne 

lo  heed  that  which  was  not  commaunded  of  God  nor  de- 

peded  of  any  appoyntement  made  betwene  him  and  God. 

Soch  ceremonies  were  vnto  them  as  an  A.  B.  C.  to 

lerne  to  fpelle  and  read,  and  as  a  nurce  to  fede  them 

with  milke  and  pappe,  and  to  fpeake  vnto  them  after 

15  their  awne  capacyte  and  to  lifpe  the  wordes  vnto  them

the  whole  worlde  and  delyuer  them  from  their  fhadowes

30  doo  the  ceremonyes  and  facrifices  at  the  comynge  of

token  left  in  remembraunce  of  a  bargayne  is  neceffary 
whe  the  bargayne  is  fulfilled.  And  though  they  feme 
playne  childifh,  yet  they  be  not  altogither  fruteleffe:  as 
the  popettes  and  .xx.  maner  of  tryfles  which  mothers 
5  permitte  vnto  their  yonge  childern  be  not  all  in  vayne. 
For  all  be  it  that  foch  phantafyes  be  permytted  to 
fatiffie  the  childers  luftes,  yet  in  that  they  are  the 
mothers  gifte  and  be  done  in  place  and  tyme  at  hir 
comaundement,   they  kepe  the  childern  in  awe  and 

lo  make  them  knowe  the  mother  and  alfo  make  them 
more  apte  agenfte  a  more  ftronger  age  to  obaye  in 
thinges  of  greater  ernefte. 

.?.  And  moraouer  though  facrifices  and  ceremonies  can 
be  no  ground  or  fundacion  to  bild  apon:  that  is,  though 

15  we  can  proue  noughte  with  them:  yet  when  we  haue 
once  found  oute  Chrift  and  his  mifleries,  then  we  maye 
borow  figures,  that  is  to  faye  allegoryes,  fimilitudes  or 
examples  to  open  Chrift  and  the  fecrettes  off  God  hyd 
in  Chrifl  euen  vnto  the  quycke,  and  to  declare  them 

20  more  lyuely  and  fenfebly  with  them  than  with  all  the 
wordes  of  the  worlde.  For  fimilitudes  haue  more  ver- 
tue  and  power  with  them  than  bare  wordes,  and  lead 
a  mans  wittes  further  in  to  the  pithe  and  marye  and 
fpirituall  vnderftondinge  of  the  thinge,  than  all  the 

25  wordes  that  can  be  imagined.  And  though  alfo  that 
all  the  ceremonies  and  facrifices  haue  as  it  were  a 
fterrelyght  of  Chrift,  yet  fome  there  be  that  haue  as 
it  were  the  lighte  of  the  brode  daye  a  litle  before  the 
fbnne  rifmge,  and  expreffe  him,  and  the  circumftaunces 

30  and  vertue  of  his  deth  fo  playnly  as  if  we  fhulde  playe 
his  paffyon  on  a  fcaffold  or  in  a  ftage  play  opelye  before 
the  eyes  of  the  people.  As  the  fcape  gote,  the  brafen 
ferpent,  the  oxe  burnt  without  the  hofte,  the  paffeouer- 
lambe  &c.     In  fo  moch  that  I  am  fully  perfuaded  and 

35  can  not  but  beleue  that  God  had  fhewed  Mofes  the 
fecrettes  of  Chrift  and  the  verey  maner  of  his  deth 
be-  .?.  fore  hande,  and  commaunded  him  to  ordene 
them  for  the  confirmacion  of  oure  faythes  whiche  are 
now  in  the  cleare  daye  lighte.     And  I  beleue  alfo  that 

40  the  prophetes  whiche  folowed  Mofes  to  confirme  his 
prophefyes  and  to  mayntayne  his  doctrine  vnto  Chriftes 


M  €  291 

cominge,  were  moued  by  foch  thinges  to  ferche  further 
of  Chriftes  fecrettes.  And  though  God  wold  not  haue 
the  fecrettes  of  Chrift  generallye  knowne,  faue  vnto  a 
few  familier  frendes  which  in  that  infancye  he  made 
5  of  mans  witte  to  helpe  the  other  babes:  yet  as  they 
had  a  generall  promyffe  that  one  of  the  feed  of  Abraha 
fhuld  come  and  bleffe  them,  euen  fo  they  had  a  gener- 
all fayth  that  God  wold  by  the  fame  man  faue  them, 
though  they  wift  not  by  what  meanes  as  the  very 

10  apoftles  when  it  was  oft  told  them  yet  they  coude 
neuer  comprehend  it,  till  it  was  fulfilled  in  deade. 

And  beyonde  all  this  their  facrifices  ad  ceremonies 
as  farforth  as  the  promyfes  annexed  vnto  them  ex- 
tende,   fo  farforth  they  faued  the  and  iuftified  them 

15  and  ftode  them  in  the  fame  fteade  as  oure  facramentes 
doo  vs :  not  by  the  power  of  the  facrifice  or  deade  it  felfe, 
but  by  the  vertue  of  the  faith  in  the  promyffe  whiche 
the  facrifice  or  ceremonye  preached  and  wherof  it  was 
a  token  or  fygne.     For  the  ceremonies  .?.  and  facri- 

20  fices  were  lefte  with  them  and  commaunded  them  to 
kepe  the  promyffe  in  remebraunce  and  to  wake  vpp 
their  fayth.  As  it  is  not  ynough  to  fende  manye  on 
errandes  and  to  tell  them  what  they  fhall  doo:  but 
they  muft  haue  a  remembraunce  with  them,  and  it  be 

25  but  a  ringe  of  a  rufh  aboute  one  of  their  fingers.  And 
as  it  is  not  ynough  to  make  a  bargayne  with  wordes 
onlye,  but  we  muft  put  thereto  an  oth  and  geue  erneft 
to  confirme  the  faithe  off  the  perfon  with  whom  it  is 
made.     And  in  like  maner  yf  a  man  promyffe,  what 

30  foeuer  trifull  it  be,  it  is  not  beleued  excepte  he  hold 
vppe  his  finger  alfo,  foch  is  the  wekeneffe  of  the  world. 
And  therfore  chrift  him  filf  vfed  oftymes  diuerfe  cere- 
monyes  in  curynge  the  feke,  to  fturre  vpp  their  faith 
with  all.     As  for  an  enfample  it  was  not  the  bloud  of 

35  the  lambe  that  faued  the  in  Egipte,  when  the  angell 
fmote  the  Egiptians:  but  the  mercye  of  God  and  his 
truth  wherof  that  bloude  was  a  token  and  remembraunce 
to  fturre  vppe  their  faythes  wyth  all.  For  though  God 
make  a  promyffe,  yet  it  faueth  none  finallye  but  them 

40  that  longe  for  it  and  praye  God  with  a  ftronge  fayth 
to  fulfill  it  for  his  mercye  and  truthe  onlye  and  knowl-

ege  theyr  vnworthyneffe.  And  euen  fo  oure  facra- 
men-  .?.  tes  (yfthey  be  truelye  miniftred)  preach  Chrift 
vnto  vs  and  leade  oure  faythes  vnto  Chrift,  by  whiche 
faithe  oure  fynnes  are  done  awaye  and  not  by  the 
5  deade  or  worke  of  the  facrament.  For  as  it  was  impof- 
fible  that  the  bloude  off  calues  fhuld  put  awaye  fynne: 
euen  fo  is  it  impoflible  that  the  water  of  the  ryuer  fhuld 
wafh  oure  hartes.  Neuertheleffe  the  facramentes  clefe 
vs  and  abfolue  vs  of  oure  fynnes  as  the  preaftes  doo, 

lo  in  preachinge  of  repentaunce  and  faith,  for  which  caufe 
ether  other  of  them  were  ordened,  but  yf  they  preach 
not,  whether  it  be  the  preaft  or  the  facrament,  fo  pro- 
fitte  they  not. 

And  yf  a  man  allege  Chrift  lohan  in  the  .iii.  chapter 

15  fayeng:  Excepte  a  man  be  borne  agayne  of  water  and 
the  holye  gofte  he  can  not  fe  the  kingdome  of  God, 
and  will  therfore  that  the  holy  goft  is  prefent  in  the 
water  and  therfore  the  verye  deade  or  worke  doth  put 
awaye  fynne:  then  I  will  fend  him  vnto  Paule  which 

20  axeth  his  Galathians  whether  they  receaued  the  holy 
gofte  by  the  deade  of  the  lawe  or  by  preachinge  of 
faith,  and  there  concludeth  that  the  holy  goft  accopany- 
eth  the  preaching  of  faith,  ad  with  the  worde  of  faith, 
entreth  the  harte   ad  purgeth  it,   which  thou  mayft 

25  also  vnderftonde  by  faynt  Paule  fayenge:  ye  are  borne 
.?.  a  new  out  of  the  water  thorowe  the  worde.  So 
now  if  baptim  preach  me  the  waffhing  in  chriftes 
bloude,  fo  doth  the  holy  goft  accompany  it  and  that 
deade  of  preachinge  thorow  fayth  doth  put  awaye  my 

30  fynnes.  For  the  holy  goft  is  no  dome  god  nor  no  god 
that  goeth  a  mummige.  Yf  a  man  faye  of  the  facra- 
ment of  Chriftes  bodye  ad  bloude  that  it  is  a  facrifice 
as  well  for  the  dead  as  for  the  quycke  and  therfore  the 
very  deed  it  felf  iuftifieth  and  putteth  away  fynne.     I 

35  anfwere  that  a  facrifice  is  the  fleynge  off  the  body  of  a 
beeft  or  a  man:  wherfore  yf  it  be  a  facrifice,  then  is 
chriftes  body  there  flayne  ad  his  bloude  there  ftied: 
but  that  is  not  fo.  And  therfore  it  is  properly  no 
facrifice  but  a  facrament  and  a  memoriall  of  that  euer- 

40  laftinge  facrifice  once  for  all  which  he  offered  apon  the 
croffe  now  apon  a  .xv.  hundred  yeres  a  go  and  preach- 


Wi  €  293 

eth  only  vnto  them  that  are  alyue.  And  as  for  them 
that  be  dead,  it  is  as  profitable  vnto  them  as  is  a  can- 
dell  in  a  lantrene  without  light  vnto  them  that  walke 
by  the  waye  in  a  darke  night,  and  as  the  gofpell  fong 
5  in  laten  is  vnto  them  that  vnderftond  none  at  all,  and 
as  a  fermon  preached  to  him  that  is  dead  and  hereth 
it  not.  It  preacheth  vnto  them  that  are  a  lyue  only, 
for  they  that  be  dead,  yf  they  dyed  in  the  faith  which 
that  facrament   preacheth,   they  .?.  be  faffe  and  are 

10  paft  all  ieopardye.  For  when  they  were  alyue  their 
hartes  loued  the  lawe  off  God  and  therfore  fynned  not, 
and  were  fory  that  their  membres  fynned  and  euer 
moued  to  fynne,  and  therfore  thorow  faith  it  was  for- 
geuen  them.     And  now  their  fynnefuU   membres  be 

15  dead,  fo  that  they  can  now  fynne  no  more,  wherfore 
it  is  vnto  them  that  be  dead  nether  facrament  nor 
facrifice:  But  vnder  the  pretence  of  their  foule  health 
it  is  a  fervaunt  vnto  oure  fpiritualtyes  holy  couetouf- 
neffe  and  an  extorcyonar   and  a   bylder  of  Abayes, 

20  Colleges,  Chauntryes  and  cathedrall  chirches  with  falfe 

gote  good,  a  pickpurfe,  a  pollar,  ad  a  bottomleffe  bagge. 

Some  man  wold  happely  faye,  that  the  prayers  of 

the  maffe  helpe  moch:  not  the  lyuinge  only,  but  alfo 

the  dead.     Of  the  hote  fire  of  their   farvent   prayer 

25  which  confumeth  fafter  then  all  the  world  is  able  to 
bringe  facrifice,  I  haue  fayde  fufficiently  in  other  places. 
Howe  be  it  it  is  not  poffible  to  bringe  me  in  beleffe 
that  the  prayer  which  helpeth  hir  awne  mafter  vnto 
no  vertue,  fhuld  purcheffe  me  the  forgeueneffe  of  my 

30  fynnes.  If  I  fawe  that  their  prayers  had  obtayned 
the  grace  to  lyue  foch  a  liffe  as  goddes  worde  did  not 
rebuke,  then  coud  I  fone  be  borne  in  hande  that  what 
foeuer  they  axed  off  .f .  God  their  prayers  fhuld  not 
be  in  vayne.     But  now  what  good  can  he  wyfh  me  in 

35  his  prayers  that  envieth  me  Chrifte  the  fode  and  the 
liffe  of  my  foule  .''  What  good  can  he  wifh  me  whofe 
herte  cleaveth  a  fundre  for  payne  when  I  am  taught 
to  repent  of  my  euell  ? 

Forthermore  becaufe  that  fewe  knowe  the  vfe  of 

40  the  olde  teftament,  and  the  mofte  parte  thinke  it 
nothinge  neceffarye   but   to   make  allegoryes,   which 


294  3E   K 

they  fayne  euery  ma  after  hys  awne  brayne  at  all  wyle 
adveture  without  any  certayne  rule:  therfore  (though  I 
haue  fpoken  off  them  in  another  place)  yet  left  the 
boke  come  not  to  all  mennes  handes  that  fhall  reade 
5  this,  I  will  fpeake  off  them  here  alfo  a  worde  or  twayne. 
We  had  nede  to  take  hede  euery  where  that  we  be  not 
begyled  with  falfe  allegories,  whether  they  be  drawne  out 
of  the  new  teftament,  or  the  olde,  ether  out  of  any  other 
ftorye  or  off  the  creatures  of  the  worlde,  but  namely  in 

lo  this  boke.     Here  a  man  had  nede  to  put  on  all  his 

fpectacles  and  to  arme  him  felfe  agenft  invifible  fpretes. 

Firft  allegories  proue  nothinge  (and  by  allegories  vn- 

derftonde  examples  or  fimilitudes  borowed  of  ftraunge 

matters  and  of  another  thinge  than  that  thou  entreateft 

15  off)     As  thou-  .IT.  gh  circumcyfyon  be  a  figure  of  bap- 

tim,  yet  thou  canft  not  proue  baptim  by  circumcyfion. 

For  this  argumet  were  verye  feble,  the  Ifraelites 

were  circucyfed  therfore  we  muft  be  baptifed.     And 

in    like   maner   though   the  offering   of  Ifaac  were  a 

20  figure  or  enfample  off  the  refurrection,  yet  is  this 
argument  nought,  Abraham  wold  haue  offered  Ifaac, 
but  God  delyuered  him  from  deth,  therfore  we  fhall 
ryfe  agayne,  and  fo  forth  in  all  other. 

But  the  very  vfe  of  allegories  is  to  declare  and  open 

25  a  texte  that  it  maye  be  the  better  perceaved  and 
vnderftonde.  As  when  I  haue  a  cleare  texte  of  Chrift 
and  of  the  apoftles,  that  I  muft  be  baptyfed,  then  I 
maye  borowe  an  enfample  of  circumcyfion  to  expreffe 
the  nature  power  and  frute  or  effecte  of  baptim.     For 

30  as  circumcyfion  was  vnto  them  a  comen  bagge  fyg- 
nifienge  that  they  were  all  fodiars  off  God  to  warre 
his  warre  and  feparatinge  them  from  all  other  nacyons 
difobedient  vnto  God:  euen  fo  baptim  is  oure  comen 
bagge  and  fure  erneft  and  perpetuall  memoriall  that 

35  we  pertayne  vnto  Chrift  and  are  feparated  from  all 
that  are  not  chriftes.  And  as  circumcifion  was  a 
token  certifyenge  them  that  they  were  receaved  vnto 
the  fauoure  off  God  and  theyr  .?.  fynnes  forgeven  them: 
euen  fo  baptim  certefyeth  vs  that  we  are  waffhed  in 

40  the  bloude  of  chrift  ad  receaued  to  fauoure  for  his 
fake,     and  as  circumcyfion  fignifyed  vnto  the  the  cut- 


IE  E  395 

tynge  awaye  of  theyr  awne  luftes  and  fleynge  of  their 
fre  will,  as  they  call  it,  to  folowe  the  will  of  god  even 
fo  baptim  fignyfyeth  vnto  vs  repentaunce  and  the  mor- 
tefyinge  of  oure  vnruly  mebres  and  body  of  fynne,  to 

5  walke  in  a  newe  lyffe  and  fo  forth. 

And  likewyfe  though  that  the  favinge  of  Noe  and 
of  them  that  were  with  him  in  the  fhyppe,  thorow 
water,  is  a  figure,  that  is  to  faye  an  enfample  and  like- 
neffe  of  baptim,  as  Peter  maketh  it  .1.  Petri  3.  yet  I 

10  can  not  proue  baptim  therwith,  faue  defcribe  it  only, 
for  as  the  fheyppe  faued  the  in  the  water  thorow  faith, 
in  that  they  beleved  god  and  as  the  other  that  wold 
not  beleve  Noe  peryfhed:  even  fo  baptim  faveth  vs 
thorow  the  worde  of  faith  which  it  preacheth  when 

15  all  the  world  of  the  vnbelevinge  peryfh.  And  Paule 
.1.  Corin.  10.  maketh  the  fee  ad  the  cloude  a  figure  of 
baptim,  by  which  and  a  thoufand  mo  I  might  declare  it 
but  not  proue  it.  Paule  alfo  in  the  fayde  place  maketh 
the  rocke  out  of  which  Mofes  brought  water  vnto  the 

20  childerne  of  Ifrael  a  figure  or  enfample  of  chrift  not  to 
proue  chrift  (for  that  were  impofli-  .?.  ble)  but  to 
defcribe  chrift  only:  even  as  chrift  hi  filf  lohanis  .3 
boroweth  a  fimilitude  or  figure  of  the  brafen  ferpent  to 
lead  Nichodemus  fro  his  erthy  imaginacyon  in  to  the 

25  fpirituall  vnderftondinge  of  chrift  fayenge:  As  Mofes 
lyfted  vpp  a  ferpent  in  the  wilderneffe,  fo  muft  the 
fonne  of  man  be  lifted  vpp,  that  none  that  beleue  in 
him  peryfti  but  haue  everlaftinge  liffe.  by  which  fimil- 
itude the  vertue  of  chriftes  deth  is  better  defcribed 

30  then  thou  coudeft  declare  it  with  a  thoufande  wordes. 
for  as  thofe  murmurars  agenft  god  as  fone  as  they 
repented  were  healed  of  their  deadly  woundes  thorow 
lokynge  on  the  brafen  ferpent  only  without  medicyne 
or  any  other  helpe,  yee  ad  without  any  other  reafon  but 

35  that  god  hath  fayed  it  fhuld  be  fo,  and  not  to  murmoure 
agayne,  but  to  leue  their  murmuringe:  even  fo  all  that 
repent  ad  beleue  in  chrift  are  faved  from  euerlaftinge 
deth,  of  pure  grace  without  and  before  their  good 
workes,  and  not  to  fynne  agayne,  but  to  fight  agaynft 

40  fynne  ad  henceforth  to  fynne  no  moare. 

Even  fo  with  the  ceremonyes  of  this  boke  thou  canft 


296  Wi  K 

prove  nothinge  faue  defcribe  and  declare  only  the 
puttyng  awaye.  of  oure  fynnes  thorow  the  deth  of 
chrift.  for  chrift  is  Aaron  and  Aarons  fonnes  and 
all  that  offer  the  facrifyce  to  purge  fynne,  And  chrift 
5  is  all  maner  .f.  offering  that  is  offered:  he  is  the  oxe, 
the  fhepe,  the  gote,  the  kyd  and  lambe:  he  is  the  oxe 
that  is  burnt  without  the  hoft  and  the  fcapegote  that 
caryed  all  the  fynne  of  the  people  awaye  in  to  the 
wilderneffe.  for  as  they  purged  the  people  fro  their 

10  worldly  vnclenneffes  thorow  bloud  of  the  facrifices, 
even  fo  doth  chrift  purge  vs  from  the  vnclenneffes  of 
everlaftinge  deth  with  his  awne  bloude.  and  as  their 
worldly  fynnes  coude  no  otherwyfe  be  purged  then 
by  bloude  of  facrifyce,  even  fo  can  oure  fynnes  be  no 

15  otherwyfe  forgeven  then  thorow  the  bloude  of  chrift. 
All  the  deades  in  the  world,  faue  the  bloude  of  chrift, 
can  purchafe  no  forgeveneffe  of  fynnes:  for  oure  deades 
do  but  helpe  oure  neyghboure  and  mortefye  the  flefti 
ad  helpe  that  we  fynne  no  moare,  but  and  if  we  haue 

20  fynned,  it  muft  be  frely  forgeven  thorow  the  bloude  of 
chrift  or  remayne  ever. 

And  in  lyke  maner  of  the  lepers  thou  canft  prove 
nothinge:  thou  canft  never  coniure  out  confeffio  thenfe, 
how  be  it  thou  haft  an  handfome  example  there  to 

25  open  the  bindinge  and  lowfmge  of  oure  preaftes  with 
the  kaye  of  goddes  word,  for  as  they  made  no  man 
a  lepre  even  fo  oures  haue  no  power  to  commaunde 
any  man  to  be  in  fynne  or  to  go  to  purgatory  or 
hell.     And  therefore  (in  as  moch  as  bindinge  .IT.  and 

30  lowfmge  is  one  power)  As  thofe  preaftes  healed  no 
man,  euen  fo  oures  can  not  of  their  invifeble  and 
domme  power  dryve  any  mannes  fynnes  awaye  or  de- 
lyver  hym  from  hell  or  fayned  purgatorye.  how  be  it 
if  they  preached  gods  word  purely  which  is  the  au- 

35  thorite  that  chrift  gaue  them,  then  they  ftiuld  binde 
ad  lowfe,  kylle  and  make  alyue  agayne,  make  vncleane 
and  cleane  agayne,  and  fend  to  hell  ad  fett  thence 
agayne,  fo  mighty  is  gods  word,  for  if  they  preached 
the  lawe  of  god,  they  fhuld  bind  the  confciences  of  fyn- 

40  ners  with  the  bondes  of  the  paynes  of  hell  and  bringe 
them  vnto  repetaunce.     And  then  if  they  preached 


Wi  %  297 

them  the  mercye  that  is  in  chrifb,  they  fhuld 
lowfe  them  and  quiet  their  raginge  confciences  and 
certefie  them  of  the  fauoure  of  god  and  that  their

5  Fynallye  beware  of  allegoryes,  for  there  is  not  a 
moare  handfome  or  apte  a  thinge  to  be  gile  withall 
then  an  allegorye,  nor  a  more  fotle  and  peftilent 
thinge  in  the  world  to  perfuade  a  falfe  mater  then 
an  allegorye.     And  contrary  wyfe  there  is  not  a  bet- 

10  ter,  vehementer  or  myghtyer  thinge  to  make  a  man 
vnderftond  with  all  then  an  allegory.  For  allegoryes 
make  a  man  qwick  witted  and  prynte  wyf-  .?.  dome 
in  him  and  maketh  it  to  abyde,  where  bare  wordes  go 
but  in  at  the  one  eare  and  out  at  the  other.     As  this 

15  with  foch  like  fayenges:  put  fait  to  all  youre  facrifices, 
in  fleade  of  this  fentence,  do  all  youre  deades  with  dif- 
crecion,  greteth  and  bitetjjj  (yf  it  be  vnderftond)  moare 
the  playne  wordes.  And  when  I  faye  in  fteade  off  thefe 
wordes  boft  not  youre  felf  of  youre  good  deades,  eate  not 

20  the  bloude  nor  the  fatt  of  youre  facrifice,  there  is  as  great 
differece  betwene  them  as  there  is  diftaunce  betwene 
heauen  ad  erth.  For  the  liffe  and  beutye  of  all  good 
deades  is  of  God  and  we  are  but  the  caren  leane,  we 
are  onlye  the  inftrument  wherby  god  worketh  only, 

25  but  the  power  is  his.  As  god  created  Paule  a  newe, 
poured  hys  wifdome  in  to  him  gaue  him  mighte  and 
promyfed  him  that  his  grace  fhulde  neuer  fayle  him 
&c.  and  all  without  defervinges,  excepte  that  nurter- 
inge*  the  fayntes  and  makinge  them  curfe  and  rayle  on 

30  Chrifl  be  meritorious.     Now  as  it  is  death 

to  eate  the  bloude  or  fatte  of  any  facrifi- 
ce, is  it  not  (thinke  ye)  damnable 
to  robbe  god  of  his  honoure  and 
to  glorifye  my  felf  with  his 

35  honoure.?

them  not  in  to  the  londe  of  reft.     Why  coude  they  not 
lo  entre  in  ?     Becaufe  of  their  vnbeleffe  Hebre.  iii.     For 
had  they  beleved,  fo  had  they  bene  vnder  grace,  and 
their  old  fynnes  had  bene  forgeuen  the,  ad  power  fhulde 
haue  bene  geue  them  to  haue  fulfilled  the  lawe  thence-

15  that  had  bene  to  ftronge  for  them.     For  it  is  wrytten 
lohan  .i.     He  gaue  them  power  to  be  the  fonnes  of 
god,  thorow  belevynge  in  his  name.     Nowe  to  be  the 
fonne  of  god  is  to  loue  god  and  his  commaundmentes 
and  to  walke  in  his  waye  after  the  enfample  of  his 
20  fonne  Chrift.     But  thefe  people  toke  vppon  them  to 
worke  without  faith  as  thou  feyfte  in  the  .xiiii.  of  this 
boke,  where  they  wold  fight  and  alfo  did,  without  the 
worde  of  promyfTe:  eue  when  they  were  warned  that 
they  fhuld  not.     And  in  f  .xvi.  agayne  they  wolde 
25  pleafe  god  .?.  with  their  holye  faithleffe  workes  (for 
where  gods  worde  is  not  there  can  be  no  faith)  but  y 
fyre  of  god  confumed  their  holy  workes,  as  it  did  Na- 
dab  and  Abihu  Leui.  x.    And  fro  thefe  vnbeleuers  turne 
thyne  eyes  vnto  the  pharefyes  which  before  the  com- 
30  ynge  of  Chrift  in  his  flefh,  had  layde  the  fundacion  of

holy  workes  after  their  awne  imaginacion  with  out 
faith  of  the  worde,  fo  fervently  that  for  the  greate  zele 
of  them  they  flew  the  kinge  of  all  holy  workes  and  the 
lorde  of  frewill  which  only  thorow  his  grace  maketh 
5  the  will  fre  and  lowfeth  her  from  bondage  of  fynne, 
and  geueth  her  loue  and  luft  vnto  the  lawes  of  god, 
and  power  to  fulfyll  them.  And  fo  thorowe  their  holye 
workes  done  by  the  power  of  frewill,  they  excluded 
them  felues  out  of  the  holy  reft  of  forgeueneffe  of 

lo  fynnes  by  faith  in  the  bloude  of  Chrift. 

And  then  loke  on  oure  ypocrites  which  in  like 
maner  folowinge  the  doctryne  of  Ariftotle  and  other 
hethen  paganes,  haue  agenfte  all  the  fcripture  fett  vpp 
frewill   agayne,  vnto   whofe   power   they   afcribe  the 

15  kepynge  of  f  comaundmetes  of  god.  For  they  haue 
fet  vp  wilfuU  povertye  of  a  nother  maner  then  any  is 
comaunded  of  god.  And  the  chaftite  of  matrimony 
vtterlye  defyed,  they  haue  fet  vp  a  nother  wilfull 
chaftite  not  required  of  god,  whiche  they  fwere,  vowe 

20  &  profeffe  to  geue  god,  .If.  whether  he  will  geue  it 

them  or  no,  and  compell  all  their  difciples  there  vnto, 

fayenge  that  it  is  in  the  power  of  euery  mans  frewill 

to  obferue  it,  contrarye  to  Christ  and  his  apoftle  Paule. 

And  the  obedience  of  god  and  man  excluded  they 

25  haue  vowed  a  nother  wilfull  obedience  condemned  of 
all  the  fcripture  whiche  they  will  yet  geue  God  whether 
he  will  or  wyll  not. 

And  what  is  become  of  their  wilfull  pouertye  ?  hath 
it  not  robbed  the  whole  worlde  &  brought  all  vnder

And  as  for  their  wilfull  obediece  what  is  it  but  ^ 
difobediece  &  the  diffiauce  both  of  all  ^  lawes  of  god

lordes  ought  no  lenger  to  obaye  him,  and  interdite  his 
comen  people  as  they  were  hethe  turkes  or  faracenes. 
And  yf  any  man  preache  them  gods  lawe,  him  they 
make  an  heretike  and  burne  him  to  affhes.     And  in 

10  fteade  of  gods  lawe  and  mans,  they  haue  fette  vpp  one 
off  their  awne  imaginacion  which  they  obferue  with 
difpenfacions. 

And  yet  in  thefe  workes  they  haue  fo  greate  confi- 
dence that  they  not  onlye  trufte  to  be  faued  therby, 

15  and  to  be  hyer  in  heauen  then  they  that  be  faued 
thorow  chrift:  but  alfo  promeffe  to  all  other  forgeue-

cludynge  the  whole  worlde  from  the  refte  of  forgeueneffe 

20  of  fynnes  thorowe  faith  in  Chriftes  bloude. 

And  now  feynge  that  faith  only  letteth  a  ma  in 
uto  reft  &  vnbeleffe  excludeth  hi,  what  is  the  caufe  of 
this  vnbeleffe  ?  verely  no  fynne  ^  the  world  feyth,  but 
a  pope  holyneffe  &  a  rightuoufnes  of  theire  awne  im- 

25  aginacion  as  Paule  fayeth  Roma.  x.  They  be  ignoraute 
of  y  rightuoufnes  wherwith  god  iustifieth  &  haue  fet 
vp  a  rightuoufnes  of  their  awne  makige  thorow  which 
they  be  disobediet  vnto  y  rightuoufnes  of  god.  And 
Chrift   rebuketh   not   the  pharifeys  for   groffe   fynnes 

30  whiche  .?.  the  worlde  fawe,  but  for  thofe  holye  deades 
whiche  fo  blered  the  eyes  of  the  worlde  that  they  were 
take  as  goddes:  eue  for  long  prayers,  for  faftynge,  for 
tythige  fo  diligetly  that  they  lefte  not  fo  moch  as  their 
herbes  vntithed,  for  their  clenneffe  in  waffhynge  be- 

35  fore  meate  and  for  wafhynge  of  cuppes,  diflies,  and  all 
maner  veffels,  for  buyldinge  the  prophetes  fepulchres, 
and  for  kepinge  the  holy  daye,  and  for  turnynge  the 
hethen  vnto  the  fayth,  and  for  gevynge  of  almes.  For 
vnto  foch  holy  deades  they  afcribed  rightuoufnes  and 

40  therfore  when  the  rightuoufneffe  of  god  was  preached 
vnto  them  they  coude  not  but  perfecute  it,  the  devel] 


was  fo  flronge  in  the.  Which  thinge  Chrift  well  defcri- 
beth  Luce.  xi.  fayenge  that  after  the  devell  is  caft  out

made  gaye  and  then  taketh  feuen  worfe  then  him  felfe 
5  and  dwelleth  therein,  and  fo  is  the  ende  of  that  man 
worfe  then  the  beginnynge.  That  is,  when  they  be  a 
litle  clenfed  from  groffe  fynnes  whiche  the  worlde  feyth 
and  then  made  gaye  in  their  awne  fyght  with  the 
rightuoufnes  of  tradicions,  then  cometh  feuen,  that  is 

lo  to  faye  the  hole  power  of  y  devell,  for  feue  with  f 
hebrues  fignifieth  a  multitude  without  nubre  &  the 
extremyte  of  a  thinge  &  is  a  fpeach  borowed  (I  fuppofe)

wold  faye,  I  will  circumcyfe  the  or  baptife  the  .vii.  tymes. 
And  fo  here  by  feuen  is  ment  all  the  devels  of  hell  &

further  blindneffe  coude  al  the  deuels  in  hell  bringe 

20  the,  then  to  make  them  beleue  f  they  were  iustified 
thorow  their  awne  good  workes.  For  whe  they  once 
beleued  f  they  were  purged  fro  their  fynnes  &  made 
rightuouffe  thorowe  their  awne  holye  workes,  what

when  he  proued  his  doctrine  with  y  fcripture  &  miracles, 

35  yet  though  they  coude  not  improue  him  nor  reafon

that  ouerthroweth  their  byldynges,  therfore  they  euer

For  when  thou  layeft  the  iuftifyinge  of  holy  workes

doeft  wronge  vnto  the  bloude  of  chrift,  and  chrift  vnto

35  not  forgeueneffe  of  fynnes  only,  but  alfo  what  foeuer

for  all    that,   yf  I    might    lyue  in  reft   when   I  come 

15  thither,  I  wold  think  &  fo  wold  other  faye,  that  my 
paynes  were  well  rewarded:  which  reward  &  benefyte 
I  wold  not  proudlye  afcribe  vnto  the  merites  of  my 
paynes  takynge  by  the  waye:  but  vnto  the  goodneffe, 
mercyfulneffe  and  conftaunt  truth  of  the  kinges  grace 

20  whofe  gifte  it  is  and  to  whome  y  prayfe  ad  thanke 
thereof  belongeth  of  duetye  and  right.  So  now  a 
rewarde  is  a  gift  geue  .?.  frelye  of  the  goodneffe  of 
the  geuer  and  not  of  the  deferuinges  of  the  receauer. 
Thus  it  appeareth,  that  if  I  vowe  what  foeuer  it  be, 

25  for  any  other  purpoffe  then  to  tame  my  membres  and 
to  be  an  enfample  of  vertue  ad  edefyenge  vnto  my 
neyghboure,  my  facrifice  is  vnfauery  and  cleane  with- 
out fait  and  my  lape  without  oyle  and  I  one  of  the 
folyfh  virginis  and  fhalbe  fhutt  out  from  the  feafl  of 

30  the  bruydegrome  when  I  thinke  my  felf  moft  fure  to 
entre  in. 

Yf  I  vowe  voluntary  pouerty,  this  mufl  be  my 
purpoffe,  that  I  will  be  content  with  a  competent 
lyuinge  which  cometh  vnto  me  ether  by  fucceffion  of 

35  myne  elders  or  which  I  gette  truly  with  my  laboure 
in  miniftringe  and  doynge  feruice  vnto  the  comen

or  other,  becaufe  that  riches  and  honoure  fhall  not 
corrupte  my  mynde  and  drawe  myne  harte  from  god, 

40  and  to  geue  an  enfample  of  vertue  and  edefyinge  vnto

30  felf,  his  awne  profyte,  glory  &  honoure,  eue  in  very 
fpirituall  matters.  As  if  I  were  alone  in  a  wilderneffe 
where  no  man  were  to  feke  profite  or  prayfe  of  yet 
if  I  wold  feke  heug  of  god  there,  I  coude  of  myne 
awne  naturall  gyftes  feke  it  no  no-  .?.  ther  wayes  then 

35  for  the  merites  and  deferuinges  of  my  good  workes 
and  to  entre  therin  by  a  nother  waye  then  by  y  dore 
chrift,  which  were  very  thefte,  for  chrifl  is  lord  ouer 
all  and  what  fo  euer  any  man  wil  haue  of  god,  he  muft 
haue   it   geuen   him  frelye  for  chriftes   fake.     Now  to 

40  haue  heauen  for  myne  awne  deferuinge,  is  myne  awne 
prayfe  and   not  chrifles.     For  I  can  not  haue  it  by

fauoure  &  grace  in  chrift  and  by  myne  awne  merites 
alfo:  For  fregeuinge  and  deferuinge  can  not  ftod  to 
gether. 

Yf  thou  wilt  vowe  of  thy  goodes  vnto  god  thou 
5  muft  put  fait  vnto  this  facrifice:  that  is  thou  muft  min- 
iftre  knowlege  in  this  deade  as  Peter  teacheth.  2  pet.  i. 
Thou  muft  put  oyle  of  gods  worde  in  thy  lape  &  do  it 
accordinge  to  knowlege,  if  thou  wayte  for  the  comynge 
of  the  bridegrome  to  entre  in  with  him  in  to  his  reft, 
lo  Thou  wilt  hage  it  aboute  the  image  to  moue  men  to 
deuocyon.     Deuocyon  is  a  feruent  loue  vnto  gods  co- 
maudmentes  and  a  defyre  to  be  with  god  and  with  his 
euerlaftinge  promyfes.     Now  fhall  the  fight   of  foch 
riches  as  are  fhewed  at  faynt  thomas  fhryne  or  at  wal- 
15  fingham  moue  a  man  to  loue  the  comaundmetes  of  god 
better  and  to  defyre  to  be  loofed  from  his  flefh  and  to 
be  with  god,  or  fhall  it  not  rather  make  his  poore  herte 
figh  because  he  hath  no  foch  at  home  and  to  wyfh 
parte  of  it  in  a  nother  place  ? 
20        .?.  The  preaft  fhall  haue  it  in  gods  ftead.     Shall  the 
preaft  haue  it .-'     Yf  the  preaft  be  bought  with  chriftes 
bloude,  the  he  is  chriftes  feruaute  &  not  his  awne  & 
ought  therefore  to  feade  chriftes  flocke  with  chriftes 
doctryne  &  to  miniftre   chriftes  facrametes  vnto   the 
25  purely  for  very  loue  &  not  for  felthy  lucres  fake  or  to 
be  lord  ouer  the  as  Peter  teacheth  i  pet.  v.  &  paule 
Actes.xx.    Befydethis  chrift  is  oures  ad  is  a  gifte  geuen 
vs,  &  we  be  heyres  of  chrift  &  of  all  that  is  chriftes 
Wherfore  the  preaftes  doctryne  is  oures  &  we  heires 
30  of  it,  it  is  f  fode  of  oure  foules.     Therfore  if  he  miniftre 
it  not  truly  ad  frely  vnto  vs  with  out  fellinge,  he  is  a 
thefe  &  a  foule  murtherar:  ad  euen  fo  is  he  if  he  take 
vppon  him  to  fede  vs  &  haue  not  wherewith.     And  for 
a  like  conclufyon  becaufe  we  alfo  with  all  that  we  haue 
35  be  chriftes,  therfore  is  the  preaft  heyre  with  vs  alfo  of 
all  that  we  haue  receaued  of  god,  wherfore  in  as  moch 
as  y  preaft  wayteth  on  f  worde  of  god  ad  is  oure  fer- 
uaunte  therin,  therfore  of  right  we  are  his  dettars  & 
owe  him  a  fufficyent  lyuinge  of  oure  goodes,  ad  euen 
40  therto  a  wiffe  of  oure  doughters  owe  we  vnto  him  if  he 
requyre  her.     And  now  when  we  haue  appoynted  him 


394  m  K 

a  fufficiet  liuinge,  whether  in  tythes  rentes  or  in  yere- 
lye  wages,  he  ought  to  be  cotent  &  to  require  no  more 
nor  yet  to  receaue  any  more,  but  to  be  an  enfample 
of  foberneffe  &  of  difpyfmge  worldly  thinges  vnto  the 
5  en-  .F.  fample  of  his  paryfheonars. 

Wilt  thou  vowe  to  offre  vnto  f  poore  people  ?  that 
is  pleafaunte  in  y  fight  of  god,  for  they  be  lefte  here 
to  do  oure  almes  apo  in  chrifbes  ftead  &  they  be  f 
right  heyres  of  all  oure  abundauce  &  ouerplus.     More- 

lo  ouer  we  muft  haue  a  fcole  to  teach  goddes  worde  i 
(though  it  neded  not  to  be  fo  coftely)  &  therfore  it  is 
lawfuU  to  vowe  vnto  the  buyldynge  or  mayntenauce 
therof  &  vnto  helpinge  of  all  good  werkes.  And  we 
ought  to  vowe  to  paye  cuftome,  tolle,  rent  &  all  maner 

15  dutyes  and  what  foeuer  we  owe:  for  that  is  gods

Yf  thou  wilt  vowe  pilgrimage,  thou  muft  put  fait

20  what  foeuer  edifieth  thy  foule  vnto  loue  &  good  worke

The  very  beeftes  in  that  they  haue  liffe  in  them  be

20  greatly  defyroufe,  yt  is  a  daungerous  thynge  to  make 
fynne  where  none  is  ad  to  forfwere  f  benefyte  of  god 
&  to  bynde  thy  felf  vnder  payne  of  danacyon  of  thy

hath  created  if  nead  requyred.     €[  A  nother  thinge 

25  is  this,  beware  that  thou  gett  the  not  a  falfe  fayned

35  Moreouer  god  is  a  wyfe  father  &  knoweth  all  y  in-

hath  created  a  remedye  without  fynne  ad  geuen  ther-

Let  vs  not  be  wyfer  then  god  with  oure  ymagina-

hath  promyfed  to  flake  his  hongre  .?.  with  out  meate

Wherfore  other  let  all  thinges  byde  fre  as  wife  god 
hath  created  them  &  nother  vowe  that  which  god 
requyreth  not  nor  forfwere  that  which  god  permitteth

The  purpoffe  of  thy  vowe  muft  be  falted  alfo  with

therbye  or  to  make  fatiffaction  for  thy  fynnes  or  to

20  wroge  vnto  the  bloude  of  chrift  &  thy  vowe  were

Thy  vowe  muft  be  only  vnto  y  furtheraunce  of  y  com-

And  eue  fo  muft  thou  vowe  abftinece  of  meates  &

fhall  faue  you.     And  finally  yf  (as  the  frayltie  of  al 

lo  flefh  is)  they  fhall  haue  fallen  from  God  and  he  haue 
brought  them  in  to  treble,  aduerfyte,  ad  cobraunce  ad 
all  neceflite:  yet  yf  they  repent  and  turne,  he  promyfeth 
them  that  God  fhall  remebre  his  mercie  ad  receave 
the  to  grace  agayne 

15  In  the  fifte  he  repeteth  the  .x.  commaudmetes  and 
that  they  myght  fe  a  caufe  to  do  them  .?.  of  loue,  he 
biddeth  them  remembre  that  they  were  bounde  in 
Egipte  and  how  God  delyuered  them  with  a  mightie 
hande  and  a  ftretchedout  arme,  to  ferue  him  and  to  kepe 

20  his  commaundmentes:  as  Paule  fayeth  that  we  are 
bought  with  Chriftes  bloude  ad  therfore  are  his  fer- 
vauntes  ad  not  oure  awne,  ad  ought  to  feke  his  will 
and  honoure  onlye  ad  to  loue  ad  ferue  one  another  for 
his  fake. 

25  In  the  fixte  he  fetteth  out  the  fountayne  off  all  com- 
maundmentes: that  is,  that  they  beleue  how  that  there 
is  but  one  God  that  doeth  all,  and  therfore  ought  onlye 
to  be  loued  with  all  the  herte,  all  the  foule  and  all  the 
myghte.     For  loue  only  is  the  fulfillinge  of  the  com- 

30  maundementes,  as  Paule  alfo  fayeth  vnto,  the  Romaynes 
and  Galathians  likewife.  He  warneth  the  alfo  that 
they  forgett  not  the  commaundmentes,  but  teach  the 
their  childern  ad  to  fhew  their  childern  alfo  how  God 
delyuered  the  out  of  the  bondage  of  the  Egiptias  to 

35  ferue  him  and  his  commaundmetes,  that  the  childern 
myght  fe  a  caufe  to  worke  of  loue,  likewife. 

The  feueth  is  all  together  of  faith:  he  remoueth  all 
occafios  that  might  withdrawe  them  from  the  fayth, 
and  pulleth  them  alfo  from  all  confidence  in    them 

40  felues,  and  fturreth  the  vp  to  truft  in  god  boldlye  and 
onlye. 


51E  C  5i9 

.?.  Of  the  eyght  chaptre  thou  feyft  how  that  the 
caufe  of  all  temptation  is,  that  a  ma  might  fe  his  awne 
herte.  For  whe  I  am  brought  in  to  that  extremite 
that  I  muft  ether  fuffre  or  forfake  god,  then  I  fhall 
5  feale  how  moch  I  beleue  and  truft  in  him,  and  how 
moch  I  loue  him.  In  Hke  maner,  yf  my  brother 
do  me  euel  for  my  good,  then  yf  I  loue  him  when 
there  is  no  caufe  in  him,  I  fe  that  my  loue  was  of  god, 
ad  eue  fo  yf  I  then  hate  him,  I  feale  and  perceave  that 

lo  my  loue  was  but  wordly.  And  finallye  he  fturreth  the 
to  the  fayth  ad  loue  of  god,  ad  dryveth  them  fro  all 
confidence  of  theire  awne  felves. 

In  the  nynth  alfo  he  moueth  the  vnto  faith  and  to 
put  their  trufl  in  god,  and  draweth  the  from  confidence 

15  of  them  felues  by  rehearfinge  all  the  wekedneffe  which 
they  had  wrought  from  the  firft  daye  he  knew  them 
vnto  that  fame  daye.  And  in  the  end  he  repeteth  how 
he  coniured  god  in  horeb  ad  ouercame  him  with  prayer, 
where  thou  mayeft  lerne  the  right  maner  to  praye. 

20  In  the  tenth  he  rekeneth  vpp  the  pith  of  all  lawes 
and  the  kepinge  of  the  lawe  in  the  harte:  which  is  to 
feare  god  loue  him  ad  ferue  him  with  all  their  harte 
foule  and  mighte  ad  kepe  his  commaundmentes  of 
loue.     And  he  fheweth  a  reafon  why  they  fhuld  that 

25  doo:  euen  .?.  becaufe  god  is  lord  of  heuen  and  erth  ad 
hath  alfo  done  all  for  them  of  his  awne  goodneffe  with- 
out their  defervinge.  And  then  out  of  the  loue  vnto 
god  he  bringeth  the  love  vnto  a  mans  neyghboure 
fayenge:  god  is  lorde  aboue  all  lordes  and  loveth  all 

30  his  feruauntes  indifferently,  as  well  the  poore  and  feble 
and  the  ftraunger,  as  the  rich  and  mightye,  ad  therfore 
wil  that  we  loue  the  poore  and  the  ftraunger.  And 
he  addeth  a  caufe,  for  ye  were  ftraungers  and  god  deliu- 
ered  you  and  hath  brought  you  vnto  a  londe  where 

35  ye  be  at  home.     Loue  the  ftraunger  therfore  for  his  fake. 
In  the  .xi.  he  exhorteth  them  to  loue  and  feare  god, 
and  reherfeth  the  terrible  dedes  off  god  vppon  his  en- 
emies, and  on  them  that  rebelled  agenft  him.     And 
he  teftifyeth  vnto  the  both  what  will  folow  yf  they 

40  loue  and  feare  god,  and  whate  alfo  yf  they  defpife  him 
ad  breake  his  commaundment. 


52b  aE   K 

In  the  .xii.  he  comaundeth  to  put  out  of  the  waye 
all  that  might  be  an  occafion  to  hurte  the  fayth  and 
forbiddeth  to  do  ought  after  their  awne  mindes,  or  to 
altre  the  worde  of  god. 
5  In  the  .xiii.  he  forbiddeth  to  herken  vnto  ought  faue 
vnto  gods  worde:  no  though  he  which  coufeleth  c6- 
trarye  fhuld  come  with  miracles,  as  Paule  doth  vnto 
the  Galathians. 

.?.  In  the  .xiiii.  the  beeftes  are  forbidde,  partely  for  the 

lo  vnclenneffe  of  the,  ad  partely  to  caufe  hate  betwene  the

XV.  chaptre  all  pertayne  vnto  faith  and  loue  cheflye. 
And  in  this  .xv.  he  beginneth  to  entreate  moare  fpeciallye 

15  of  thinges  pertayninge  vnto  the  comen  welth  ad  equite 
ad  exhorteth  vnto  the  loue  of  a  mans  neyghboure.  And 
in  the  .xvi.  amonge  other  he  forgetteth  not  the  fame. 
And  in  the  .xvii.  he  entreateth  of  right  and  equite  chefly, 
in  fo  moche  that  when  he  loketh  vnto  faithe  and  vnto 

20  the,  punyfhment  of  ydolatres,  he  yet  endeth  in  a  lawe 
of  loue  and  equite:  forbiddinge  to  condemne  any  man 
vnder  leffe  *then  twoo  witneffes  at  the  left  and  com- 
maundeth  to  bringe  the  trefpacers  vnto  the  open  gate 
of  the  citye  where  all  men  goo  in  and  out,  that  all 

25  men  might  heare  the  caufe  and  fe  that  he  had  but 
right.  But  the  pope  hath  founde  a  better  waye,  even 
to  appoffe  him  with  out  any  accufare  ad  that  fecretlye, 
that  no  man  knowe  whether  he  haue  right  or  no,  ether 
hare  his  articles  or  anfwere:  for  feare  left  the  people 

30  fhuld  ferch  whether  it  were  fo  or  no. 

In  the  .xviii.  he  forbiddeth  all  falfe  and  develifli 
craftes  that  hurte  true  fayth.  Moreouer  .IT.  becaufe 
the  people  coude  not  heare  the  voyce  of  the  lawe  fpoke

35  brige  the  better  tydinges  which  was  fpoke  of  chrift  oure

The  .xix.  ad  fo  forth  vnto  the  ende  of  the  .xxvii.  is

For  acordinge  vnto  thefe  curfes  hath  god  delt  with

16  And  the  Lorde  fayed  vnto  Mofes:  beholde,  thou 
muft  flepe  with  thi  fathers,  and  this  people  will 
goo  a  whorynge  after  ftraunge  goddes  off  the  londe 
whether  they  goo  and  will  forfake  me  and  breake 
the  appoyntement    which    I    haue    made    with    them. 

17  And  then  my  wrath  will  waxe  whote  agenft  them, 
and  I  will  forfake  them  and  will  hyde  my  face  from 
them,  and  they  fhalbe  confumed.  And  when  moch 
aduerfyte  and  tribulacion  is  come  vppon  them,  then 
they  will  faye:   becaufe  oure  God  is  not  amonge  us, 

18  thefe  tribulacions  are  come  vppon  us.  But  I  wil  hyde 
my  face  that  fame  tyme  for  all  the  euels  fake  which 
they  fhall  haue  wrought,  in  that  they  are  turned  vnto 
ftraunge  goddes. 

19  Now  therfore  write  ye  this  fonge,  and  teach  it  the 
childern  of  Ifrael  and  put  it  in  their  mouthes  that 
this   fonge    maye   be    my  witneffe    [Fo.   LVII.]   vnto 

20  the  childern  of  Ifrael.  For  when  I  haue  brought 
them  in  to  the  londe  whiche  I  fware  vnto  their  fa- 
thers that  runneth  with  mylke  ad  honye,  then  they 
will  eate  and  fyll  them  felues  and  waxe  fatt  and 
turne    vnto    ftraunge    goddes    and    ferue    them    and 

21  rayle  on  me  and  breake  my  teftament.  And  then 
when  moch  myfchefe  and  tribulacion  is  come  vp- 
pon them,  this  fonge  fliall  anfwere  before  them,  and 
be  a  witneffe.  It  ftiall  not  be  forgetten  out  of  the 
mouthes  of  their  feed:  for  I  knowe  their  imagina-
